Mystery White Boy (2000) Moodswing Whiskey
Tab: 1 2 3 4
Mood swing whiskey, Drank it all in the trailer, Waiting for the dark to move in
1 2
Sitting in my step-sister's kitchen,
Horseflies on the window sill ,
3 4
Eyes trained on the
lemon peel , And wishing it were a gun
1
2
I'm thinking of our wedding rings ,Trapped inside the
heater ,
3 4
Spring water on the floor of this sex starved room
5 6 7
Nightmare's fall
around me, In waves of bliss, I tried to stop it with my hand,
8
I was lost in the kiss, With you, Mood swing
whiskey,
9
You’re
bliss, the actress, Bliss, the assassin, Bliss, the abyss
10 11 12 13
Did a crazy shot of whiskey,
In about zero to sixty, All I could see was the beer
10 11
12 13
Singing true a melody with a drink
in my right hand, Eyes sparkling, afraid, and amazed
14
15 16
I Said boost me up to
your junkyard paradise, I said Boost me up to your junkyard paradise
17
Baby I need a
sweet-ass photo of you
5 6 7
She cheated, and she lied, and you stole her, Stung my tongue just like, Sweat
from her shoulder
8 9
Ooh, mood swing
whiskey, Your love, the destroyer, Love, the destroyer Love, love...
18

18 19
Yes mood swing whiskey
flood my brain, Only you can
break this chain,
18 19
18 19
I need her in
my bed again, You, you, you,
you (x4)
5 6 7
Going down to the subway
station, Packing a rod, All unnecessary histories erased
8
9
I am a punishing god, You Mood swing whiskey, Your prodigal son
has returned
20
21 22 23
This is for all
the headless acrobats, Faces crushed in the circus dust
20 21 22 23
All in the name of
gravity, And the price of admission,
20
21 22 23
Beautiful loser
warm hearts have let you down,
20
21 22 23
20
21 22 23
Beautiful loser warm
hearts have left you,
Because you’re beautiful
24 25 26 27
I think of mankind in quotation
marks, Ever since i took a drink from you

The
length between numbers isn’t how long you play the tab/chord for though! It’s
just how it lines up e.g. you don’t play the 18 before 19 really fast!
And
Parts without lyrics still need to be played despite not having a number!

The

(All
bracket notes are kind of optional add-ons. And the second picked
ending
is rarely played: the 222 54 ending is played most.)

"Going
