Red Tabs

(ver. 1)
Treble Charger
Off their independent release (Don't know what it's called)

Original tab by Paul Nazaroff
	Figured out chords.

Overhauled, facelifted, and generally screwed with by Andrew Davis
	Added intro, outro, and solo, changed chord names to tablature, and
corrected some errors.

I've tried to space tabs a bit to give a sense of timing, but it's pretty
much impossible if you can't listen to the song while you learn it, so I
suggest you play the song on your stereo a few times while you try to play
it.  In other words, "it is important to play the record over and over,
because you learn by listening.  Later, we will tell you how to order
breakfast just as you would at any colorful German restaurant."
(You need to have the KMFDM single 'Mdfmk' to get that one)

Anyway, this probably has a couple errors in it, but I think it sounds
close enough to the original song.  During the verse, the chords given are
played by the 2nd guitar, and the intro is played under it by the lead
guitar.  When you're playing with just one guitar, I find it sounds better
hitting the chords.

My amp has 3 EQ knobs - bass, middle, and high.  I find it sounds most like
the recording with treble maxed, middle low, and bass maxed.  This makes
the most difference in the chorus, as it makes the distortion sound different.

Notes:
h = hammer-on  \ = slide down
^ = bend       p = pull-off
/ = slide up

Intro - Clean electric:

Saw you lookin for a light
Face painted cigarette white
You asked the cleanest boy you found
Couldn't see me turned around

That I just can't escape

Chorus:

320000
As the red fades from your wrinkled dress,
x32010
A picture of the people you've impressed,
022000
Hangs on a wall around here;
x02010
Vision starts to crawl when I'm near.
320000
And the evening waits,
x32010
While you get caught up to your own mistakes,
022000
Made up of different lines,
x02010
I wouldn't want to keep in my mind.

I wondered why you'd come around,
                 x02010
Remembering your little girl friend.
320000                         xx0230
Your answers kept the crowd at bay,
                   x02010
With compliments unwilling to pay.
x32010                         320000 xx0230
I have some things I'd like to say to you,
x02010                       x32010
But they just can't be true.

Note #2: The second guitar is doing some harmonics and stuff during the end
bit, and they are pretty much impossible to tab, so they're left out.  This
sounds good enough, though.
