THE DEAD MILKMEN
Beige Sunshine

from Metaphysical Graffiti

Tabbed by: Ben Gladdle (moose9377@hotmail.com)


This one's just chords for the moment, there's solo stuff I'll try
to get to, but there's such a lot of it, it might take a little
while.

Not my favourite DM song (although funnily enough I started thinking
it was OK while tabbing, um, chording it. which is strange because
I usually have the opposite reaction), but... what was I talking
about? Oh, yeah. This is the 100th DM guitar tab on my site! (I will
admit, there's about 12 by other people, but it's still a milestone.
And then again, there's 12 bass tabs at the moment, too, so it's
even!)

So, I don't know, go out and celebrate or something. ;)


Kids Choir Bit:
--------------
C#
Cheese is the one thing that's indestructible
F#
How much is your Blue Cross deductible?
E
Open your eyes to a wicked surprise
D
You'll lose your mind if you just step inside
A
They say even Bambi was corruptible
C#
The flu's coming, yes are you susceptible?
F#
If only traces of lead were detectable
E
Open your brain to a new kind of pain
D
Just step inside and we'll all go insane
A
Please put your thoughts inside a receptacle
Bb
You are not one of us
Em
Your pipes are leaking
C
You are an ocelot
Dm    (can't hear whether it's D or Dm here, so I'm assuming Dm)
What are you seeking?
C#
Baboons, they say, are quite understanding
F#
Ships without rudders aren't worth commanding

People like you are not worth reprimanding


The "Proper" Song:
-----------------
The three parts of this song are practically the same (except for
a slight variation at the end of 3rd part), but I've put all the
chords in anyway, just in case. Also, I'd recommend the (xx0231)
version of Dm, rather than (x57765). Adam (aka The Rube) kindly sent
me the riff to this song as a Christmas present some time ago and
it's taken this long to get it on here. :( Apologies! Also, Justin
Daniel showed me how to play the very same riff only a few weeks
ago. Thanks guys, I've got to stop being so slack. Anyway, play the
following riff druing the verse parts.

(1:06)
Dm riff
I think you need some help
I think that you're way off course
C                       Bb
Maybe you need a little breather
           Dm
You should get down off that horse

Look up into the sky
Try to catch your racing thoughts
            C              Bb
Before they burn up in the sun
       Dm
Take a walk
                    C                Bb
Sit in your rocking chair and breathe...
     F
Just breathe
    C        Bb
And breathe
     Dm      C
Just breathe
Bb              Dm
Welcome to your head
C                  F
Trippin' on Wonder Bread
Bb
Welcome to your head!

Dm
Peer into the endless void
And see the endless light

Realize there is no time

There is only light
Feel the heat of the moment
Feel the heat of the now
C                    Bb
Feel the heat of the BEIGE SUNSHINE
Dm                            C         Bb
In the back of your mind, and breathe...

Let's breathe
