Is This Thing On Chords & Tabs
Title: Is This Thing on?
Album: Nothing Feels Good
Tabbed by: Kris Johansen - krisjohansen@guitarsrule.com
Note: Quite a tough one to transcribe, but I'm generally happy with it. Im a bit
confused as exactly how to define a verse. Ok let's say a verse is this:
"Delaware are you aware of the air supply and television, delaware
are you still there is this thing on, im coming down delaware are you aware
of the air supply and television Delaware are you aware of the air supply."
Intro
~ = ring.
* = play ummm lots.
! = palm mute
/ = slide
& = play 8x
* "Delaware are you aware........"

I'm not so happy with that C9. Sounds ok I guess. Update:
try replacing the C9 chord with the one next to it. I think it
sounds better.
Chorus Lead (it's hard to hear so I'm kinda guessing. Maybe there
ain't that many notes :)
