"Looking For Strange" - KMFDM
------------------------------
I figured this out on my acoustic guitar, which is actually a pretty fun way
to play this song. :) If you're playing on electric, just stick to power
chords and you'll be good to go. While not exactly the same notes as what
the guitar on the track may be playing, the chords match up to the track nicely.
These are the chords I use:
VS: D - 5577xx
Db - 4466xx
D5 - xx023x
BR: (the "get ready set, all systems go" part)
[Gsus4] [-] [335533]
[Bb]C [-]- [113331]032010
CH: Gm - 355333
[Bb]Dm [-]- [113331]000231
Sometimes on the Verses I will let the barred e and B strings ring out;
just sounds neat. :) The only other note is that in the lyrics, the second
line of the chorus switches every other time, noted in ( ). The only bit that
I'm a tad fuzzy on is the bridge right before the final chorus. There's a slight
tonal shift in there but the song has no guitar at that point so I am not
sure what it is. I just play D5 over the whole thing and it seems to work.
Any ideas are welcome!
It's a pretty basic pattern - just listen to the track.

[D5]Beat by beat...
[D]Jetlag [Db]limbo can't dec[D]ide
Like molten rock I turn to stone
Take me outside myself, do it nice and slow
Somewhere beyond the great unknown
[Gsus4]Get ready set, [Bb] All systems [C]go
(Go on give it to me)
CHORUS:
[Gm] Good life,[Bb] godli[Dm]ke, wanna [Dm]see it from the inside
Bound down, gun shy, looking for strange
(Free-fall, swan dive)
[Gm]Go on, give it to me,[Bb] don't stop, let me feel [Dm]it, Looking for [Dm]strange
Faster, harder, more, Last chance, no return Looking for strange
VERSE:
Down here in the underbelly
No words are used to speak at all
The mind goes somewhere, comatose from lack of sleep
Will I ever learn to talk?
BR & CHORUS ("free fall, swan dive")
VERSE:
Echoes scream without a sound
Mirror pond reflects no face
Shell-shock, avalanche, dialed out, can't be reached
No fail-safe, panic at close range
Pre-CH & CHORUS ("bound down, gun shy")
[D5]Girls and boys, guns and noise, beat by beat
Be the best that you can be, best to your ability
Your future bright and ours to take, do exactly as we say
Step right up, sign right here
Your name in blood, have no fear
[Gm]Good life,[Bb] godlik[Dm]e, wanna [Dm]see it from the inside
Free fall, swan dive, looking for strange
[Gm] [Bb] [Dm] [Dm]Looking for strange
[Gm]Go on, give it to me[Bb], H[Dm]ey-ay, hey-ee yay (come on, come on, come on, come on)
[Dm]Looking for strange
