"Insomnia and the Hole in the Universe"
by +Live+
#7 on Secret Samadhi

transcribed by Andy Dufresne ([email protected])

This is probably my favorite song on this album. As usual,
play it tuned downstep. All of the chords are listed as
they would be played in standard tuning. I didnt mess with
the solo, it is a bunch of variations on the D/Dsus kind of
stuff in the intro. I think these chords are pretty accurate,
but please send me any corrections you may find (or the solo).
Here it is:

INTRO:
[F] [D] [F] [D] [Dsus] [C]

eb------1-------2---------2-----1-------2--------3-----0----0-
bb------1-------3------3--------1-------3-----3-------------1-
Gb------2-------2---2-----------2-------2--2----------------0-
Db------3-------0----------(0)--3-------0-------------------2-
Ab------3-------0---------------3-------0-------------------3-
Eb------1-------X---------------1-------X-------------------0-

VERSE: (F D Dsus)

My brother kicked his feet to sleep, ect, ect
And I sang the dirge song

(play intro)

My brother never missed a beat
My brother kicked his feet to sleep, sweet feet
My brother kicked his feet to sleep
And I sang the dirge song

CHORUS: (Dm A C G)

Angel, dont you have some bagels in my oven?
Lady, dont you know a man when you see one?
Crazy lady with the shiny shoes, where are you?
Kick your feet and calm the space that makes you hollow

(play intro)

CHORUS

BRIDGE: (Bm Am F G)

Anal, tight assed soldier with that dogged heart

Play this 4x's.
(listen to the chorus to figure out the exact struming pattern, because
it changes slightly when he sings, "Crazy Lady, ...")

Bridge:

eb:---1------------|---0-------------|---1-------------|---0--------------|
Bb:---1------------|---1-------------|---1-------------|---1--------------|

[G]

eb:---3------------|
Bb:---3------------|
Gb:---0------------|
Db:---0------------|
Ab:---2------------|

That's pretty much the whole song, except for a few lead riffs that are played.
Again, listen to the song to figure out what parts go where.
Have fun!
