Pile – White Knuckles
from Jerk Routine (2009)
 
The intro and first verse are finger picked, then the rest of
the song is strummed based on the same chord progression.
 
This is written for standard tuning, so if you want to play it
in Rick’s tuning (C standard), just put a capo on the 4th fret.

[Verse 2]
F#                       B         F#
The water in your head begins to expand
D#5       B               F#
Pistol in mouth and ax in hand
     G#m                        D           F#
With your hands full you cannot meet your demands
      D#5            B              F#
While sitting in the snow for a sun tan
F#              B       F#      F b5    A8 G#8 F#8  F#

[Verse 3]
F#                    B           F#
Blew himself away and went back inside
D#5        B             F#
He but the ax did not survive
G#m                           D                F#
Boots covered in brain and he laughed until he cried
D#5          B             F#
Resolutely decided that he tried
F#              B       F#      F b5    A8 G#8 F#8  F#
