Kunci Gitar Guided By Voices - I Am A Scientist

this should have all the correct chords to the song with the main intro riff .

i didn’t tab the lead part that comes in halfway through the song .

i play the chords as simple power chords , which gives more of a low – fi sound than
open or full bar chords .

tuning : standard

main riff/intro :
E – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – |
B – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – |

verse 1 :
E D C#
i Am a scientist – i seek to understand me
E D C#
all of my impurities and evils yet unknown
E D C#
i Am a journalist – i write to you to show you
E D C# E
i Am an incurable and nothing else behaves like me

chorus :
A
and i know what’s right
G
but i’m losing sight of the clues
E D
for which i search and choose to abuse
E B
to just unlock my mind
E
yeah , and just unlock my mind

verse 2 :
i Am a pharmacist
prescriptions i will fill you
potions , pills and medicines
to ease your painful lives
i Am a lost soul
i shoot myself with rock & roll
the hole i dig is bottomless
but nothing else can set me free

chorus 2 :
and i know what’s right
but i’m losing sight of the clues
for which i search and choose to abuse
to just unlock my mind
yeah , and just unlock my mind

play the intro riff :
i Am a scientist – i seek to understand me
i Am an incurable and nothing else behaves like me

outro :
E D
everything is right
E D
everything works out right
E D
everything fades from sight
E D
because that’s alright with me

end with a offbeat version of the intro riff
