Boy Hits Car - Man Without Skin Chords & Tabs

Song:  Man Without Skin
Band:  Boy Hits Car
Tabber:  Karl Haendler

The tuning on CRegg’s 12 string is probably either standard or standard down a whole
 step.  Louis probably has his guitar tuned drop d down a whole step.  That is the 
tuning that I will use in this tab. 

This is one of BHC’s best songs.



Intro: (Acoustic)

E---------------------------------------
B---------------------------------------
G-------9------10-----12-----10---------
D-------10-----10-----10-----10---------
A-------10-----10-----10-----10---------
E-------8------8------8------8----------

Make sure you play the g string a little more distinctly than the others, because 
that’s the string you hear the most.   Listen to the song for the strumming.  


Riff 1 (Verse):  (Electric, but with some effect, maybe a tweaked chorus)

D---------------------------------------
A---------------------------------------
F------11------12------14------12-------
C------12------12------12------12------
G------12------12------12------12-------
C------12------12------12------12-------

It’s the same thing as the intro, just on the electric and in a different tuning.


Riff 2 (Chorus):  (Distorted Electric)

Lyrics:

Can you see the line where the water ends? 
Throws itself off into oblivion 
As sky goes so complacent 
then spits a little compassion 
Dusk approaches the city’s carnivorous 
Monster sweat like it wants to eat us 
And devour everything but this mouth 
Sings of the glorious fetus 
Tucked deep inside the wraths of blood 

Everywhere it seems like there’s a memory 
Sometimes memories kill me 
As I travel the avenues and the streets 
And shadow valleys of this ***in’ city 
Everyday it seem to love a little less 
Seem to love that you’re overcome this 
And drive me to the end of my self 
Where ravens dispose of me 

You’re like a man without skin 
Everything that touches seems to hurt him 
And he says maybe I’m just a person 
But I’ll bleed for you if you let me

All I want is animals to be free 
Run around and *** right out in the street 
Maybe they are gonna want to eat me 
But I’ll try not to take it personally 
And is there no love in this city 
Can someone have just a little pity? 

You’re like a man without skin 
Everything that touches seems to hurt him 
And he says maybe I’m just a person 
But I’ll bleed for you if you let me 

Just like a man without skin 
Everything he sees seems to touch him 
And he says, as the water washes over me 
I’ll stand alone let god make it trade

Come on baby 
Penetrate me 
You go so deep 
So deep in me 
Is there no love in this city 
Can someone have just a little pity 

’Cause we’re tucked deep inside the wraths of blood 
We’re tucked so deep inside the wraths of blood 

You’re like a man without skin 
Everything he sees seems to touch him 
And he says maybe I’m just a person 
But I’ll bleed for you if you let me 

Just like a man without skin 
Everything he sees seems to touch him 
And he says as the water washes over me 
I’ll stand alone let god make it trade 

Penetrate me 
Penetrate me
