MY BIG MOUTH - tabbed by Karim Adab There are 2 ways of playing the rhythm to My Big Mouth. The first is tabbed out below, along with the second version, which uses "open" chords - this second way is possibly easier to play, and sounds smoother but less "dramatic". The actual "start" of the progression is the A5, ENDING on the F5 at the start of the next line. Listen to the song and you'll see what I mean. The D5 and C5 should only be played once each, and only briefly, and the 2 F5's are in fact the same chord, it carries over from the end of the progression to the start of the next line. F5 = 133xxx A5 = 577xxx D5 = x577xx C5 = x355xx G5 = 355xxx Fsus2 = x33011 G = 300033 (must be played like this) E = x2210x (OR -2nd method) Am = x02210 Asus4 = x0223x (just hammer on once from Am then take your finger off again) G = 300033 Fsus2 = x33022 Here we go: INTRO A5 D5 C5 G5 F5 (OR : substitute above progression all the way through song for : Am, Am + hammer on B string fret 3, G, Fsus2) F5 A5 D5 C5 G5 F5 Everybody knows F5 A5 D5 C5 G5 F5 And no one's saying nothing F5 A5 D5 C5 G5 F5 Is the sound so very loud F5 A5 D5 C5 G5 F5 That no one can hear F5 A5 D5 C5 G5 F5 And there's something in my shoes F5 A5 D5 C5 G5 F5 That's keeping me from walking F5 A5 D5 C5 G5 F5 Down along the winding road F5 A5 D5 C5 G5 F5 Back home to you Bridge : Fsus2 When all your songs cease to be G That's what you get for sleeping with the enemy Fsus2 Where angels fly, you won't play E So guess who's gotta take the blame for F5 A5 D5 C5 G5 F5 My big mouth F5 A5 D5 C5 G5 F5 And my big name F5 A5 D5 C5 I put on my shoes while I'm walking G5 F5 A5 D5 C5 G5 Slowly down the hall of fame F5 A5 D5 C5 G5 F5 Into my big mouth F5 A5 D5 C5 G5 F5 You could fly a plane F5 A5 D5 C5 I put on my shoes while i'm walking G5 F5 A5 D5 C5 G5 Slowly down the hall of fame (VERSE 2) I ain't ever spoke to God And I ain't ever been to heaven But you assume I knew the way Even though I'm not worth giving As you look into the eye Of a bloody cold assassin Only then you realise This is what you have been missing (CHORUS) SOLO : Key 7b9 = bend on fret 7 to pitch of string on fret 9 7/9 = string on fret 7, slide to fret 9 7h9 = string on fret 7, hammer to fret 9 7p9 = string on fret 9, pull off to fret 7 ~7 = trill, vibrate note X = "dead" note NB the first bend is very slow, and released just as slowly.

This is the version from Loch Lomond.

Intro.: A G F#m E Am D C G F Verse 1: Am D C G F Over and over again just listen for the timing Every body knows... but no one's saying nothing And it's a sound so very loud... that no-one can hear I've got something in my shoe... it's keeping me from walking Down the long and winding road... back home to you Bridge: F And round this town you've ceased to be G That's what you get for sleeping with the enemy F Where angels fly you won't play Em So guess who's going to take the blame for... Chorus: Am D C G F Over and over again just listen for the timing My big mouth, My big name Who'll put on my shoes while they're walking Slowly down the hall of fame? Into my big mouth, you could fly a plane Who'll put on my shoes while they're walking Slowly down the hall of fame? Slowly down the hall of fame? Verse 2: I ain't never spoke to God And I ain't never been to heaven But you assumed I knew the way Even though the map was given And as I look into the eyes Of a bloody cold assassin Only then you'll realize With who's love you have been messin' Solo: Am G Am G F E Am D C G F
