Song: Life Is A Scream
Artist: Violent Femmes
Album: Why Do Birds Sing?

Transcribed by Wes Torres

Notes: This is a very simple song. Basically two chords. Another TAB I
saw used E5 and D5 but I believe it is A5 and D5. The Bass just
plays the root notes. In between each verse they jam over D.

intro:
(guitar) D5
[(bass)] [D]
(break)

(guitar) D5
[(bass)] [D]
[A5]she said to me, Oh, I don't know what you mean
[D5]All I'm trying to do is trying to make your scene
[A5]I said to her no way baby life Ain't what it seems
[D5]Well don't you know baby that life is a scream?
(no chords)
AAAAAAARRRRGGGGHHHHH!!!!!!

[A5]She came up to me in her high fashion and sheen
[D5]well don't you know she was trying to come clean
[A5]I said to her no way baby life Ain't what it seems
[D5]Well don't you know baby that life is a scream?
(no chords)
AAAAAAARRRRGGGGHHHHH!!!!!!

[A5]She said to me oh, I love it when you're mean
[D5]don't you know it's boring when it's quiet and serene
[A5]I said to her no way baby life Ain't what it seems
[D5]can't you get it through your head that life is a scream?
(no chord)
AAAAAAARRRRGGGGHHHHH!!!!!!
