tab by Andy Adelewitz (*)
I tabbed this in standard tuning instead of down a half step, as they play
it. It's just as easy either way. If you tune down a half step, just move
all the tab up a fret to play along with the album.
Verse riff:
    G#5     E5    D#m            G#5     E5    D#m            E5
E-|---------------------------------------------------------------|
B-|-----9-------------7--------------9----------------------------|
G-|---8---8-----9-------6----------8---8-----9----------------9---|
D-|-6---------9------------------6---------9--------x3-then---9---|
A-|---------7-----6----------------------7-----6--------------7---|
E-|---------------------------------------------------------------|
    D#5
E-|-----|
B-|-----|
G-|--8--|
D-|--8--|
A-|--6--|
E-|-----|
Just repeat this chord over and over the first time, then go back into verse.
The second time and all after it, follow it with:
   Or will you call them gods?
    G#5     Bb5   D#5
E-|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|
B-|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|
G-|---------------8-----------------------------------------------------------|
D-|-6---6-6-8-8---8-----------------------------------------------------------|
A-|-6---6-6-8-8---6-----------------------------------------------------------|
E-|-4---4-4-6-6---------------------------------------------------------------|
The last riff has three chords:
    G5  G#5  C#5
E-|---------------|
B-|---------------|
G-|-----------6---|
D-|--5---6----6---|
A-|--5---6----4---|
E-|--3---4--------|
Play like so:
G5             G#5  C#5
   You never looked so high
G5           G#5    C#5
   To ever find her so low
G5                     G#5   C#5
   You did not have to go    that far
G5                      G#5
   To show her you were holy
The little guitar lick behind what comea after that part:
         1/2 step bend and release

1st Chorus:
(Using heavy distortion)
                          E
Will you call her a freak...
                          E
Will you call them freaks...
2nd Chorus (and the rest):
(Using heavy distortion)
Here's the riff that's played with the E chord on "gods" and the asterisk:
eb:------------------|
Bb:------------------|
Gb:------------------|
Db:---6--7--6-----6--|
Ab:------------9-----|
Eb:------------------|
                          E
Will you call her a freak...
                          E
Will you call them freaks...
   A              B         E*(riff)
or will you call them gods...
   A              B         E*(riff)
...will you call them freaks...
   A              B          G#
you know your sperm is weak...
Refrain:
G#          A           D
You never looked, so high
G#          A           D
To ever find her, so low
G#          A                   D
You did not have to go, that far...
Am  F  Em7
Am  F  Em7
That's pretty much all the pieces to this "freaky" song;
just listen to the CD and put it together; it shouldn't be too hard.
