SLOW MOTION - Third Eye Blind
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Tabbed by:Johnnybench9
Hey, this is a great song, very simple and easy. Tuning is standard.
I tried to be accurate with chord placement but figure out exact
timing by listening to the song. all chords should be standard bar
chords. if you prefer using open chords just plug in "transpose
down a half step" at the top, capo the first fret, and then play
all chords relative to the capo. where it says "palm mute" strum
the chord once and immediately mute all strings. here it goes.

Miss Jones taught me English

But I think I just shot her son

With a bullet in the chest you cannot run
D# A#
Now he's bleeding in a vacant lot
G# Fm
The one in the summer where we used to smoke pot
D# A#
I guess I didn't mean it
G# Fm
But man, you shoulda seen it
A# (palm mute)
His flesh explode

A most beautiful ruby red

I shut the door to her moaning

And I shoot smack in my veins

Wouldn't you?

See my neighbor's beating his wife

Because he hates his life

There's an arc to his fist as he swings

Won't grow old to be

A junkie wino creep

What's your excuse?
