A melancholic number by Giles Corey, that's quite easy to play on acoustic guitar

The song is comprised of these two parts repeated and at
 the halfway point has a distorted wall of noise that fuzzes out the guitar picking.

this is very good, although I would make two significant changes to the tab: the first chord should be 1-3-2-0 (Fmaj9) as the power chord sounds too strong there; the chorus' "2-4-4" chord should be "2-2-4,' otherwise it briefly modulates to another key (which this song doesn't do). Anyway, thank you!

I don't think it's funny I don't fool around If you're so fucking tired Why aren't you in the ground Because guilt is my boyfriend And I'm very dearly wed At wakes you don't wake up But stay asleep instead I'm the dour in the dowry The bats in your belfry And I am your boyfriend
