Somebody Kill Me

this song is played in 4/4 with standard tuning , easy .

the verses are played with the power chords D , a and G .
these chords are played as eight notes with all down strokes .
the progression looks like this :

then the chorus uses the full chords D , A , and G
D A G
E – – 2 – – | – – 0 – – | – – 3 – – |
B – – 3 – – | – – 2 – – | – – 0 – – |
G – – 2 – – | – – 2 – – | – – 0 – – |
D – – 0 – – | – – 2 – – | – – 0 – – |
A – – 0 – – | – – 0 – – | – – 2 – – |
E – – 0 – – | – – 0 – – | – – 3 – – |

with the strumming pattern :

D A G
| down down up | down down up | down down up up down up

make your transition between chords on your up stroke
and if you can’t do the strumming patter for the G
a straight “down up down up etc . . . ” sound just fine .

the song starts with the power chords played quietly and the chorus is played loud and
sloppy . the intro is just the power chords that are played over the verse , you’ll play
this for eight measures ( D , and a each take up one measure and G takes two ) .
* * note that the chorus is the same structure
( and have the same root notes ) just with full chords * *

so play each measure in this order : | 1 – 2 – 3 – 4 |
| D A G G |
so the song goes :

into :

D A G G D A G G

then the vocals come in .

verse one :

D A G
you don’t know how much i need you .
D A G
while you’re near me i don’t feel blue .
D A G
and when we kiss i know you need me too .
D A G
i can’t believe i found a love that’s so pure and true .

chorus one :

D A G
but it all was B * * * s * * * .
D A G

D A G
and when i think of you linda
D A G
i hope you fxxking choke .

verse two :

D A G
i hope you’re glad with what you’ve done to me .
D A G
i lay in bed all day long feeling melancholy .
D A G
you left me here all alone , tears running constantly .

chorus two :

D A G
oh somebody kill me please ,
D A G
somebody kill me please ,
D A G
i’m on my knees ,
D A G
pretty pretty please kill me .
D A G
i want to die .
D A G
put a bullet in my head .

if you want you can play your a chord like this :

Aadd11 *
E – – 0 – – |
B – – 2 – – |
G – – 2 – – |
D – – 0 – – |
A – – 0 – – |
E – – 0 – – |

* this is just what guitar pro told me , i noticed there are different variations .

use whichever chord sounds better to you or any other variation of any of the tabbed
chords , you’ll be the one playing it so make it your own . another little note , the verses
are sung staccato with the end of each line sung legato but again whatever floats your boat .
