bad religion – skyscraper ( acoustic version )

this re – worked version of the ’recipe for hate’ song is one of the bonus tracks on ’new
maps of hell’ . it’s played on piano without any guitar , the version is so beautiful and
haunting that i decided to play along on my acoustic .

i played in standard tuning . you can use these power chords in standard to play along
with the recording . there are little bits you can add in yourself like descending scales ,
notes and stuff that will go along with the piano notes . but here are the basic chords i
figured out .

bad religion – skyscraper ( acoustic version )

F F# C# G# A
come let us make bricks and burn them hard
G# F# C# G#
we’ll build a city with a tower for the world
C# G# G# G# F#
and climb so we can reach anything we may propose
C# G# F#
anything at all

F# G# G# G#
build me up , tear me down
F# C#
like a skyscraper
C# C A# G#
build me up , and tear down
F F#
these joining walls
C# G# F#
so they can’t climb at all

F F# C# G# A
i know why you tore it down that day
G# F# C# G#
you thought , that if you got caught we’d all go away
C# G# G# G# F#
like a spoiled little baby who can’t come out and play
C# G# F#
you had your revenge

F# G# G# G#
build me up , tear me down
F# C#
like a skyscraper
C# C A# G#
build me up , and tear down
F F#
these joining walls
C# G# F#
so they can’t climb at all

C# G7 C# – i’ve put G7 that means 4th fret power chord on D ( 4th ) & G ( 3rd ) strings ( i’m
not very good at this tabbing dealie as you can tell )

C#
well madness reigned and paradise fell
G#
when babel’s walls came crashing down
A#
now the echoes roar for a story writ
F#
that was hardly understood
C# G# F#
and never any good

F# G# G# G#
build me up , tear me down
F# C#
like a skyscraper
C# C A# G#
build me up , and tear down
F F#
these joining walls
C# G# F#
so they can’t climb at all

end with a descending scale that i’m sure that you can figure out . the notes are F# F D#
C# . i think anyway .
