                            From: Motorcade of Generosity
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
 
Tabbed by: bcaviator
 
Tuning: Standard
 
This song is primarily constructed with the first guitar playing 2-note intervals
and repeating riffs.The second guitar strongly influences the syncopated / funk
feel by playing one or two note passages with muted notes.
 
	| /  slide up
	| \  slide down
	| h  hammer-on
	| p  pull-off
	| ~  vibrato
	| +  harmonic
	| x  Mute note
	| b  bend (1/2 or full)
 
(also note: |----| does not equal a musical bar in this TAB,
it only represents a break between passages to make it easier to piece together...)

Lyrics
 
VERSE 1
 
You part the waters
The same ones that I'm drowning in
You need your casual slaughters
And I'm the one who helps you win
 
CHORUS
 
You've got your grand piano
And you don't even play piano
I'm the one who plays piano
You don't even play piano
Alright...
 
VERSE 2
 
You part the waters
The same ones that I'm thirsty for
You invite your friends to tea
But when it's me you lock the door
 
VERSE 3
 
You've got your credit cards
And you thank your lucky stars
aaahh but...
But don't forget the ones who foot the bill
 
CHORUS
 
You've got your grand piano
And you don't even play piano
I'm the one who plays piano     Alright!
You don't even play piano
 
Owww... You part the waters...
