Godsmack — Bad Religion
My guitar's tuned down to D standard, but in the style of e,B,G,D,A,E. Since this song has a "dark" sound, it helps to tune down for effect, plus it's easier to play solos and you BREAK A LOT LESS STRINGS. This was written while playing my Dean "Black Mamba" acoustic with "Black Diamond" coated strings. (I hate messing with alternate tunings, . . .keeping it in tune is hard enough) Played this way, you can play the complete song including the instumemtal, which I added for you enjoyment! Intro: If you know the song, just pound out the drum beat on an open E chord! . . . "Get back!" In between verses play the drum beat by raking muted strings E Can you feel I'm not like you anymore E I can't see, I can't breathe E See you quiver like the dogs on the streets E Looking down on as I beat you D It's a bad religion E From a broken nation D It's a contradiction E And I can't take it anymore, Yeah Repeat the same chords and strum the same beat! Who's to say I won't like you anyway? Take a deep breath I'm alive Can you hear me? I'm alive inside you Agony creeps up behind you D It's a bad religion E From a broken nation D It's a contradiction, E And I can't take it anymore,anymore (repeat chorus with word overlapping D It's a bad relig-bad religion E From a broken nation, A BROKEN NATION D B And it's contradiction . . . yeah (A string 3,2,0pen,2) A:(3,2,open3-ring and hold 1 beat,2-r&h,open-r&h E:3-r&h) A~7,"with 2-3 open E drones before the notes"5(3 E drones),4,3 repeat the instrumental a few times before kicking into the "coda" E Can you feel it E I've gotta live with it every day. E And I can't take the pressure, E I'm goin' insane. Now go away E E Go away . . . Yeah! (while holding a screamed "yeah" pound out 16 more powerful drum beat open E chords . . .I counted them!)
