******************************************************** * RADAR BROS. - THE SINGING HATCHET (1999) * * Album tabs by Zachary William Snow * * Questions or corrections? - [email protected] * ********************************************************
Radar Bros. songs are not terribly difficult to play or to tab, but I've seen some really bad tabs out there (especially "Tar the Roofs"), and I also noticed a general lack of their tabs, so I decided to do these myself, dammit. As far as I know, these are all correct, but I'm not entirely sure on some of the voicings, so if anyone has questions or corrections, email me. All songs are album versions, and in normal tuning. Oh, and I leave it up to you to figure out picking and strumming patterns. These are slow songs, but their use of key changes and odd voicings is what makes them a bit weird.

AmFG Shoveling sons keeping us awake AmFG Into the night's misfortunes we fade AmFG Giving the land's only fair eye AmD7G Shoveling sons are marching away FAmGF And you never will be confused by the few who ride down FAmG The only road paved by dead souls
Shoveling sons keeping good time Digging the holes where others reside Fortunate sons keeping us awake Into the night's misgivings we fade
And you never will be confused by the few who ride down The only road paved by dead souls And they never will credit you on the few times you ride The only road worth your time
And you never will be confused by the few who ride down The only road paved by dead souls And you never will be confused by the few who ride down The only road paved by dead souls

[Note: this song is mostly piano with light electric guitar. The piano would be too hard to tab exactly for guitar, so these chords are not exact voicings, but just the basics.]

EmEm/F#Em/G Have you been paid
CB To bring us down
EmEm/F#Em/GCB against our will again?
EmEm/F#Em/G And how'd you follow us?
CB And how'd you see?
EmEm/F#Em/G Wishing's lost to the touch
C To see your eyes are painted shut
EmEm/F#Em/GCB And we won't come clean.

Are you too late To serve again a locked out salary? Just buy me something. I'll pay you later for these things.

CAmEF You don't know me so you won't pay me anymore
CAmEF And you won't hire me to come and clean your floor
CAmEF But let me take you down to the lake so we can get paid
CAmEF one more time around
And your technology has a fade in its life expectancy And only one thing could release you from your misery Fight the ways of a slow production on a field day Fight the ways of a slow production day
Until you're real I'll fall into your arms of hatred and harm Until you're safe I'll fall into those places you've been running from so far
And you won't feed me angry pages anymore The salted windows you will view me from no more But let me turn you down so the rest of us could hear one more time around
And your technology has a fade in its life expectancy And only one thing could release you from your misery Fight the ways of a slow production on a field day Fight the ways of a slow production day
---------------------- 12 - Gas Station Downs ----------------------
[Note: Okay, so they get a little tricky here with us. This was by far the hardest song to figure out, and I'd welcome any corrections, especially to the "Have fun done" part. I'm pretty sure I got it, though. The B7add4 and D9(no3)/A are outlined rather than strummed, so it's pretty easy to hear the individual notes.]
B7add4 = [X2120X] D9(no3)/A = [X00210]
