THE DEAD MILKMEN
Now Everybody's Me

from Metaphysical Graffiti

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


One of the best from Metaphysical Graffiti... I love the second
verse. How Rodney fits all those words into that second line,
I don't know. But I love it.


Useless Intro Bit:
-----------------
E
   Joe, shut up!


Verse Riff:
----------
    A#  D G# G G#   A#  D G#
E------------------------------------
B------------------------------------
G-------7---------------7------------
D---8-8-7-6--5-6----8-8-7-6----------
A---8-8-5-6--5-6----8-8-5-6----------
E---6-6---4--3-4----6-6---4----------

This riff is played throughout all the verses. It's pretty quick,
so these are my best guesses at the chords. Haven't shown the words
in relation to the words here, because the words are so quick. You
should figure it out though. The riff above should be repeated twice
during each verse.


verse:
Everybody hates Edie Brickell
All my favourite shows are on TV
All the restaurants serve my favourite food
'Cause now everybody's me

verse:
Now my apartment's really crowded
'Cause I live there and I'm everybody
And everybody's sleeping with my girl
But, hey, everybody's me


Chorus:
------
D                   D#
Now everybody's me
F               D#
Now everybody's me
(x2)

These chords don't sound exact. Maybe just play power chords...
It's a little closer than full bar chords.


verse:
Everybody's watching Married with Children
Everybody's into bestiality
The stores stopped selling Amstel light
'Cause now everybody's me

verse:
Everybody loves Charles Manson
Everybody wants to set him free
And everybody's on the parole board
'Cause now everybody's me

chorus:
Now everybody's me (x4)


Bridge:
------
F
I had to put an end to war
                                          Bb Ab Eb Ab (x2)
Didn't make much sense to shoot at myself
G
No more Christians, Jews, Muslims or Amway salesmen
       Eb                 F
Just a whole planet of TV addicts


verse:
Everybody's got hairy feet
Everybody follows my philosophy
Everybody's got a nephew named Jeff
'Cause now everybody's me

verse:
They had to lower all the basketball nets
'Cause everybody's like 5 foot 3
And everybody likes to dress like a monkey
'Cause now everybody's me

chorus:
Now everybody's me (x4)

chorus:
Now everybody's into what I do
Steve Albini, John? and Frank Sinatra sound exactly like me
I even set up a duo with Julio Iglesias

G#
It was called Me and Julio Down By the Crackhouse
'Cause even Julio Iglesias is me

chorus:
I have the number one album
I have all the albums
'Cause now everybody's me!

End on G#.
