Sheep (EP)
Drop C# Tuning C#G#C#F#A#D# aka Drop Db DbAbDbGbBbEb
 
Note 1:
Whenever a chord is strummed multiple times I just placed it once in the correct position within the
measure when it starts to be strummed. Except when the rhythm is integral to the riff
itself (Example: Bridge, 2nd measure).
 
 
Note 2:
Only in instances when there is a "x#" designation is the riff repeated. All other riffs are
played only once.
 
 
Note 3:
The clean part that makes up the Intro and Verses have a unique time signature that alternates
between 7/8 in the 1st measure and 4/4 in the 2nd measure. To practice, just keep restarting the song
over and over (if you're playing along to the song) and practice the first part before
the drums enter to get the rhythm down.

Knife
 
Hold it up again
 
Cut me like a friend
 
Turn my back for just a moment and I’m bleeding
 
Thin
 
Heavy on the mind
 
Sorting through these lies
 
Truth is never first in line you have to dig again
 
 
So you take the life right out of me
 
Be everything but what I need
 
Been getting all my pills for free
 
The futures brighter on my knee
 
 
Light, just beyond the edge
 
Waiting for the end
 
Fell asleep but in my dreams I see right through you
 
Send, message underground
 
Write the lyrics down
 
Sing it on repeat until im buried by the sound
 
 
Don’t talk to me
 
Cause you’re living in your own world baby
 
Talk to me
 
Look around I think we’ve all gone crazy now
