Artist: Murder By Death
Song: Until Morale Improves, The Beatings Will Continue
Album: Who Will Survive and What Will Be Left of Them
Tuning: Standard (Eadgbe)
This song is fairly simple to play just acoustically and doesn't sound too bad (although
cello, piano, and drums add a lot to it). Each time a chord is marked during the verse
strums up semi-slowly first before just strumming the chord.
Intro: Em Cmaj7 X2
Verse:
Em Cmaj7
I walked the road from Tucson to San Antonio
Em Cmaj7
With the smell of blood on my breath
Em Cmaj7 Em
Ninety days of sweat and dirt feels like one night
Cmaj7
When you've got nothing left
Interlude I: same as the Intro
Bm Am Em
Till there's nothing left to do but die
Chorus:
Em Bm D C Em
Buckshot is my bread and I'll drink whiskey instead of water
Bm D C
Cause I can't stand to be sober in this place
Em Bm D C Em
Your hands on my face every step of the way
Bm D C
Tryin' to peel away the pain

REPEAT CHORUS

I'll drink whiskey instead of water. (repeat 4 times and end on Cmaj7)
