If you have heard the song before, I am sure you know what 7/\/\/\/ means.
To play that you just have to repeatedly bend the note 1/2 step up and
down. And I think you strike the note a couple times in the measure (say
around four times- I have not transcribed it that way). You will notice
that the song goes from Cm to B. If I wanted to be technical, for the
fourth measure I would have wrote B, Bsus6, Bsus#5, Bsus6 over the 4--3-4
notes on the high E string but I am not going to.
That is the main riff. For the lyrics such as "waiting for the death blow",
"just like the old days" and "one after the other", a Bb chord is played.
For the "a hundred years" part, Gb is played and then the song goes back to
Cm to B. That is basically it. Here are the lyrics:
It doesn't matter if we all die
Ambition in the back of a black car
In a high building there is so much to do
Going home time
A story on the radio
Something small falls out of your mouth
And we laugh
A prayer for something better
A prayer for something better
Please love me
Meet my mother
But the fear takes hold
Creeping up the stairs in the dark
Waiting for the death blow
Waiting for the death blow
Waiting for the death blow
Stroking your hair as the patriots are shot
Fighting for freedom on the television
Sharing the world with slaughtered pigs
Have we got everything?
She struggles to get away
The pain and the creeping feeling
A little black haired girl
Waiting for Saturday
The death of her father pushing her
Pushing her white face into the mirror
Aching inside me
And turn me around
Just like the old days
Just like the old days
Just like the old days
Just like the old days
Caressing an old man
And painting a lifeless face
Just a piece of new meat in a clean room
The soldiers close in under a yellow moon
All shadows and deliverance
Under a black flag
A hundred years of blood
Crimson
The ribbon tightens round my throat
I open my mouth
And my head bursts open
A sound like a tiger thrashing in the water
Thrashing in the water
Over and over
We die one after the other
Over and over
We die one after the other
One after the other
One after the other
One after the other
One after the other
It feels like a hundred years
A hundred years
A hundred years
A hundred years
A hundred years
One hundred years
Siamese Twins
A5 F5 D5 F5 }*4
A5 G5 D5 F5
I chose an eternity of this
A5 G5 D5 F5
Like falling angels the world disappeared
A5 G5 D5 F5
Laughing into the fire, is it always like this ?
A5 G5
Flesh and blood and the first kiss
D5 F5
The first colors the first kiss.
A5 F5 D5 F5 }*2
(repeat A5 G5 D5 F5 throughout the verse)
We writhed under a red light
Voodoo smile, siamese twins
Girl at the window looks at me for an hour
Then everything falls apart
Broken inside me, it falls apart.
C5 D5 A5
The walls and the ceiling move in time
C5 D5
Push a blade into my hands, slowly up the stairs
E5
And into the room
E5
Is it always like this ?
A5 F5
Dancing in my pocket
A5 F5
Worms eat my skin
A5 G5
She glows and grows with arms outstretched
E5
Her legs around me, in the morning I cried.
A5 F5 D5 F5 }*4
(repeat A5 G5 D5 F5)
Leave me to die, you won't remember my voice
I walked away and grew old
You never talk, we never smile
I scream you're nothing
And I don't need you anymore
You're nothing
It fades and spins
Fades and spins.
C5 D5 A5
Sing out loud we all die
C5 D5
Laughing into the fire
E5 Bb5
Is it always like this ?
E5 Bb5
Is it always like this ?
N.C.
Is it always like this ?

Sharp and open, leave me alone
F5 G#5
And sleeping less every night
C5 Bb5
As the days become heavier and weighted
F5 G#5
Waiting in the cold light
C5 Bb5 F5
A noise, a scream tears my clothes as the figurines tighten
G#5
With spiders inside them
C5 Bb5
And dust on the lips of a vision of hell
F5 G#5
I laughed in the mirror for the first time in a year.
C5 Bb5 F5 G#5 }*2 (with Rhythm Figure 1)
C5 Bb5 F5 G#5
A hundred other words blind me with your purity
C5 Bb5
Like an old painted doll in the throes of dance
F5 G#5
I think about tomorrow
C5
Please let me sleep
Bb5
As I slip down the window
F5 G#5
Freshly sqashed fly
C5 Bb5 F5 G#5
You mean nothing, you mean nothing.

Lose me in the dark

Running into the night

Crimson pain, my heart explodes

My memory in a fire

And someone will listen

At least for a short while.

C5 Bb5
Too many secrets, too many lies
F5 G#5
Writhing with hatred
C5 Bb5 F5 G#5
Too many secrets, please make it good tonight
C5
But the same image haunts me
Bb5 F5
In sequence, in despair of time
G#5 C5
I will never be clean again
Bb5 F5
Touched her eyes, pressed my stained face
G#5 C5
I will never be clean again (with Rhythm Figure 1)
Bb5 F5
Touch her eyes, press my stained face
G#5 C5 Bb5 F5
I will never be clean again

I will never be clean again

I will never be clean again.

A Strange Day
A B G
Give me your eyes that I can see
A B G
The blind man kissing my hands
The sun is humming
My head turns to dust as he plays on his knees
..
F G
And the sand and the sea glows I close my eyes
F G
Move slowly through drowning waves
A B
Going away on a strange day
And I laugh as I drift in the wind
Blind
Dancing on a beach of stone
Cherish the faces as they wait for the end
A sudden hush across the water
And we're here again
E F
My head falls back and the walls crashed in
G A
And the sky and the impossible explodes
B C
And for one moment I remember a song
D
An expression of sounds
E
And the everything is gone forever

Lyrics:
Scarred
Your back was turned
Curled like an embryo
Take another face
You will be kissed again
I was cold as I mouthed the words
And crawled across the mirror
I wait
Await the next breath
Your name
Like ice into my heart
A shallow grave
A monument to the ruined age
Ice in my eyes
And eyes like ice do not move
Screaming at the moon
Another past time
Your name
Like ice into my heart
Everything as cold as life
Can no one save you?
Everything
As cold as silence
And you never say a word
Your name
Like ice into my heart
Your name
Like ice into my heart
