Mohammed

Band: The Dandy Warhols
Song: Mohammed 
Tabbed by: Thom 


To get this sounding perfect, ’as recorded’ you should tune down something
like a quarter of a step, but it sounds spot on in regular tuning anyway.

The chord progression, throughout the song is; (Em/D/A, Em/D/A, Em/D/A/D/A)


Intro: The first minute of the song is drums and effects.

At about 1:10 the acoustic guitar starts picking from the chords, within the
progression and Pete plays this lead:

Verse One:

Em             D      A
Again and again, I get up and say
Em       D            A      Em  
I only want to get it right,
         D            A           D
I only want to do the right thing
              A
who are these demons, i ask myself


(Riff 1) (with verse chords)


Verse Two: 
  Em             D     A          Em
I won’t be today, I’m alone again
           D         A       Em
no one can make that alive, 
           D           A                 D
no one can say they’re better, not when
          A
all this freedom you get is a lie
