From the album 'janovitz bill'
Incubus - Vitamin
from their first album S.C.I.E.N.C.E.
Dirk Lance is an awesome bassist.
this is only my first tab, but I think I did a decent job.
***BLUE TREBLE CLEF CAMPAIGN! SAVE OLGA!***
Standard G,D,A,E tuning.
Guitar plays alone for a while w/ a phaser pedal.
Intro while guitar w/ phaser pedal is playing:
G|-----------|
D|-----------|
A|-----------| repeated until the heavy part of the
E|-0-0-0-000-| intro.
2nd part of intro (the heavy part)
G|------------------|
D|-2-2--------------| repeated until 1st verse, then
A|---------3h5------| the verse is the same as the
E|-----0-0-----0-00-| first intro part.
Verse
G|-----------|
D|-----------| It may be hard to get the rhythm, but
A|-----------| listen to the way it is in the song,
E|-0-0-0-000-| and this is correct.
Chorus
G|-----------------------------------| similar to the heavy intro,
D|-2-2-------------------------------| but slightly different. You
A|---------3h5------5-5--------------| may have to hear the CD to
E|-----0-0-----0-00-----0-0-3h5-0-00-| get the rhythm.
*there's a part after the 2nd chorus where it is just Brandon
playing a bongo drum, then the bridge kicks in*
Bridge
G|-----------------|
D|-2---2-----------| this repeats a few times until Brandon says
A|-------3-2---2---| "coming closer to" and then it's a simple
E|---------------3-| beat that is just:
G|-----|
D|-----|
A|-----|
E|-0-0-|
Outro
G|------------------|
D|-2-2--------------| it's the same as the heavy intro. this goes
A|---------3h5------| till the end of the song.
E|-----0-0-----0-00-|
Sorry I didn't write how many times to play each part or anything,
but man I really gotta piss bad, so I didn't have time. haha.
I coulda finished it later, but nah...
Lyrics:
-Before verse 1-
I'm born
I'm alive
I breathe
in a moment or two i realize,
that the sphere upon which I reside,
is asleep on its feet.
should I go back to sleep?
-Verse 1-
I'm born
I'm alive
I breathe
in a moment or two i realize,
that the sphere upon which I reside,
is asleep on its feet.
should I...
should I...
Should I go back to sleep?!
-Chorus-
You stare at me like I'm a vitamin
on the surface you hate,
but you know you need me.
I'll come dressed as any pill you see fit,
whatever helps you swallow truth all the more easily.
-Verse 2-
we orbit the sun
i grow up
my open eyes see
a zombified somnambulist society
leaving us as vitamins for the hibenating human animal
do you...
do you...
Do you see what I mean?
-Chorus-
You stare at me like I'm a vitamin
on the surface you hate,
but you know you want me.
I'll come dressed as any pill you deem fit,
whatever helps you swallow truth all the more easily.
And I wonder... will you digest me?
-Bridge-
into the sleep machine, i won't plug in
in fact i'd rather die, before i will comply
to you, my friend, i write the reason i still live
cuz in my mind it's set;
the vitamin is ripe (Brandom repeats this many times very quickly)
Coming closer to another 2000 years;
you and I
will pry
the closed eye
of the sleep machine
-Chorus-
You stare at me like I'm a vitamin
on the surface you hate,
but you know you want me.
I'll come dressed as any pill you see fit,
whatever helps you swallow truth all the more easily.
Hope this tab has helped someone out.
