*** THE AIR THAT YOU BREATH ***  (transcription by Antonio)16/04/01
 Music- N. Bettencourt  (I?m not sure)
 Lyrics- N. Bettencourt (I?m not sure)
  TUNE GUITAR STANDAR (E) E A D G B E
           these points mean enlarge notes by picking several times
           .....        .....       ...     ...

VERSE I
                     .....                       .....

  I got a big great smile     but I got rotten teeth

 my posture?s kinda good    from my knees     to my feet
*(same as before with these verses)
2- And if I cut my hair    most people they won't stare
   But if people don't stare,     who will care, who will care
3- I got me a tatto,       it makes me feel so tough
   Someone would fight me please God I need to be touched
4- The closest that I get  to ever feel your kiss
   I get to take a drag  off a used cigarette
*(silence)
        Sometimes I think I'm better off dead
        But then if I'm dead, they'll bury my head
        If I can't use my lips, can't kiss the air
        Why kiss the air?
        (Cause it's the air you breathe)
CHORUS
  PM.                                        PM.

       sometimes I think I?m better off dead     but then if I?m dead

 they?ll bury my head  If I can?t use my lips can?t kiss the air

      Why kiss the air? cause it?s the air that you breath

       Sometimes think I?m better  off dead

  but then if I?m dead they?ll bury  my head

 can?t use my lips    can?t kiss the air

 why kiss the air
(back to this part)

(then the VERSE - same as before)
5- Sometimes I wish I wish    I wish that I was sick
   Cause then I would belong to a popular plauge
6- Sometimes I wish I wish    I wish that I was green
   I could fight for my rights, I would march standing tall
7- All I wanted was you,      all I wanted was you
   But you don't notice me    (silence here) you despise, you despise
CHORUS
                       AH.         * 1/4

       Sometimes think I?m better  off dead

  but then if I?m dead they?ll bury  my head

 can?t use my lips    can?t kiss the air

 why kiss the air
(bass doing that cool thing whil guitar is silenced...then)
PRESOLO
almost clean                               PM.

SOLO

Here guitar seems to play artificial harmonics all the time(dunno how,
maybe a pedal effect)so I will save the AH. over every note.

While the other guitar does this.

Last verse

  The closest that I get            to ever feel your kiss

   I get to take a drag           off a used       cigarette

    All I wanted was you            All I wanted was you

But you don't notice me            you despise,    you despise

      If all you wanted was       If all you wanted was

        all you wanted was life        you will then recognize me
*************************** END (enjoy it!)***********************
        Thanx godness I * solo had some parts quite difficult
for me; moreover the artificial harmonics could hurt your ears cause of
the very high frequencies.I hope you could use this, I know sometimes looks
a bit chaotic but the song is very easy, no rare chords, no 100 notes/second
tapping, just a plain Em chord and a suitable solo. Any suggestion or comment
bout this , email me    *    or    *
        By the way, if you see this symbol  ?  it?s supposed to be an
apostrophe but this keyboard hates me.
