This is Not Hell
Tabbed By AJ Bolton ajbolton@email.arizona.edu
Standard tuning
6:8 Time
This is the intro and the little thing that
you play throughout the lyrical part of the song
We'll call it "A."
--------------------------
-3-----------------------5
--4-----3---------0-----2-
---5-----4-------2-----3--
----------5-----3---------
--------------------------
The singing is broken up by little intstrumental
bits I'll call "B."
(That thing at the end consisting of 5 "G's"isn't every
time, so listen for it.)

----333-----333-----333--------
555-333-555-333-555-333-5-55555
555-111-555-111-555-111-5------
333-----333-----333-----3------
So, the song consists of.
(Play "A" over and over and over ad nauseum during this)
If this is hell well that's fine with me
All the wonder presumable happily
Eager to follow the fool that's got into
The head of me we don't have any doubt
We're out there making friends
Unconsciously rolling through
Meanings from pollings
The answers are meaner sometimes
Than the means to our ends
so this is hell
what else could it be
bask of glories of glorified stories
of a basket case who just
broken himself from the weave
we are just not making sense
who really cares just how we feel
infantile ramblings of penniess gamblings
a fist full of hands swinging clubs
at our new baby zeal
yeah right
Then "B" for a while
(A again)
[ Tab from: https://www.guitartabs.cc/tabs/j/jimmies_chicken_shack/this_is_not_hell_tab.html ]
you think this is hell
would you care to bet
capture the beauty of domestic duty
the hampers are full and our
laundry's perpetually wet
think about traveling south
find the right something
you must have left
endless the road
wish your past to explode
actions remain base
but intentions in the treble clef
yeah right
"B" again
(Last "A")
this is not hell
this is purgatory
caught here in limbo
I.Q. of a dim bulb
how many gods does it take
to screw in the likes of me
you'd think one day I might learn
stare in the light and you cannot see
I've opened my doors of perception
and can't get them shut
now i feel fucked for free
everyday yeah i feel fucked for free
everyday yeah i feel fucked for free
everyday yeah now we're all fucked
Last "B"
These are the chords for the last part of the song
We'll call them "C" because we like patterns

Lyrics during it:
I left my brain inside my other head
you can't impress me don't depress me
don't supress just undressed
i left my brain inside my other head
the teachers test me my father blessed me
the pigs arrest me i get upset
I left my brain inside my other head
you can't impress me don't depress me
don't supress just undressed
the teachers test me my father blessed me
the pigs arrest me i get upset
The last part is basically the last two
chords of "C" without the palm muting played repeatedly.
Enjoy!
