*Note* During their tours in 95 through 97, silverchair
played an intro for their song Pure Massacre called
I Believe or Fat Donuts. The lyrics and riff arrangement
changed nearly every show, but the main riff always
remained pretty much constant. So here it is;

“There’s people cryin…”
All the parts are here, just arrange them correctly.
i hate using napster and other mp3 sites cos i respect
musicians and don’t like stealing from them (!), but
it’s the only way to get live shows (usually) and
therefore the only way to get rare, unreleased songs
such as Fat Donuts. Downloading concerts for free is
ok, i think, cos you can’t buy that kind of stuff.
So uh… yeah, get this song. Send any comments/suggestions
and or large sums of money to
kingoftheeskimos@silverchair.org
Thanx for reading my tab, and good luck.
