palcovic genre: Rock bandname: Faith No More songtitle: Midlife Crisis subscribe: ON iaccept: ON tab: From: Paul D Subject: TAB: "Midlife Crisis" by Faith No More Here's for all you die-hard FNM fans who want to be able to play a FNM song whether or not it has guitar in it, DAMMIT! It's really not a difficult song. It's mostly keyboard-based, so the majority of what I have here is the keyboard parts arranged for guitar. Here's the fingering for the keyboard chords that are played under the verses. If you've got a guitar synth or some nifty FX processor that'll produce a cool "stringy" sound for these chords, it might sound pretty close to the record... E-|----|-----|-----|-----|-----| B-|----|-----|-----|-10--|-12--| G-|-9--|-12--|-11--|-9---|-11--| D-|-9--|-12--|-9---|-7---|-9---| A-|-7--|-10--|-9---|-----|-----| E-|----|-----|-----|-----|-----| E G B/F# A B Here's the lyrics to the verse and when to play the above chords: E Go on and ring my neck G Like when a rag gets wet B/F# A little discipline A For my pet genius E My head is like lettuce G Go on, dig your thumbs in. B I cannot stop giving (B) I'm thirtysomething. E Sense of security G Like pockets jingling B/F# A Midlife crisis E Suck ingenuity G Down through the family B (B) Tree... Here's the rest of the verse lyrics: What an inheritance The salt and the kleenex Morbid self-attention Bending my pinky back A little discipline A donor by habit A little discipline Rent an opinion. Sense of security Holding blunt instrument Midlife crisis. I'm a perfectionist And perfect is a skinned knee. Okay, here's what I guess you'd call the "chorus", just use any old form of the chords shown (whatever suits ya'): E5 D5 You're perfect yes it's true A5 E5 D5 A5 But without me you're only you (you're only you) E5 D5 Your menstruating heart A5 E (palm mute) It ain't bleeding enough for two. Then, for the part that goes "It's a midlife...crisis____" just play the progression from the verse (way above). Then after that weird, descending synth effects part (there's really no way to tab that out OR play it on a guitar...so skip it), play the following (this is also keyboard arranged for guitar) and sing the "It's a midlife...crisis_____" three times. E-|----------------|--------------|-----------------|-----|----|| B-|----------------|--------------|-----------------|-----|-16-|| G-|-14-13-17-16-14-|-16--16-14-16-|-16-14-17--16-14-|-16--|-16-|| D-|----------------|--------------|-----------------|-----|-16-|| A-|----------------|--------------|-----------------|-----|----|| E-|----------------|--------------|-----------------|-----|----|| After that, it's back to the chorus (with the first verse sung in the background) until the fade-out. I'm pretty sure about all this stuff. I'm trying to do it as best as I can from memory. I may have flubbed a little as far as "sequence of events", so if there seems to be some part missing, email me. But like I said above, if you're looking for a cool "guitar-y" song, this ain't it...(it still manages to be a kickass song, though!) Good luck! Paul D. s3bz@music.transy.edu
