THE DEAD MILKMEN Big Deal from Stoney's Extra Stout (Pig) Tabbed by: Ben Gladdle (moose9377@hotmail.com) I think I've got this one now. I really like this song... By far the best from Stoney's. What made it difficult was the fact that there's not a huge amount of audible guitar. The Em/Bm bit is the main part of the song, so play it the way you like it. I was convinced before that you should play them on the 7th fret, but it also sounds OK if you play them lower down. In fact, I'm pretty sure it swaps around at various points. Also, as you might have noticed there's no solos. There's a lot of solo work in this song, and it might take a while, but it'll come eventually. Verse: ----- Em Bm Em Bm Life sucks, then you die Bm Em Bm Em And your soul gets sucked into the sky Em Bm Em Bm Birds sing, I wonder why Bm Em Bm Em You eat a bowl of cereal and sigh A Bm You're late for your class A C You're walkin' the halls without a pass Chorus: ------ Em Bm Em Bm Big deal Bm Em Bm Em Big deal verse: Time flies, time crawls You're a prisoner trapped between its claws Life sucks, sometimes You gotta learn to live between the lines Your feet are on the ground But the world keeps spinning you around Chorus 2: -------- Em Bm Em Bm Big deal Bm Em Bm Em Big deal C G C G (piano solo starts) Big deal G D G D Em Bm Em Bm C G C G (guitar solo starts) G D G D Em Bm Em Bm C G C G G D G D Em Bm Em Bm C G C G verse: Don't be worried, don't be down I'll be your stupid happy clown Keep your chin up in the air Shake your body like you just don't care Birds sing, babies cry Life sucks and then you die Chorus 3: -------- Em Bm Em Bm Big deal Bm Em Bm Em Big deal C G C G Biiiiiiiiiig G D G D (guitar solo starts) Deal Em Bm Em Bm C G C G G D G D Em Bm Em Bm C G C G G D G D Em Bm Em Bm C G C G G D G D Em Bm Em Bm Repeat and fade.
