ZEN BRAINfrom Nada Surf's album "high/low"*Transcribed by Ronald Sarayudej himself*Note: Read everything carefully, or it will sound like crapand if it sounds like crap, it's your fault (to put it nicely).I'm going to tell you the chords and lead guitar, but I'm not going to tell you the strumming patters, cuz it's hard to explain and you shouldbe able to at least figure that out on your own.(PM) - Palm mute    p - pull from previous fret positionCHORDS TO KNOW: A5      E5      F#5     D5      A5/G#   D       D/C#    E       EsusEADGBE  EADGBE  EADGBE  EADGBE  EADGBE  EADGBE  EADGBE  EADGBE  EADGBE------  ------  ------  ------  ------  ------  ------  ------  ------57      02      24       57     47       577     476    022100  022200And finally:B7EADGBE------7978Intro and Verses:Riff 1  (play freely)*Clean ElectricE|2--2--2--2--2--2--2--2--|4--4--4--4--4--4--4--4--|B|2--2--2--2--2--2--2--2--|2--2--2--2--2--2--2--2--|G|2--2--2--2--2--2--2--2--|2--2--2--2--2--2--2--2--|D|0--------0--------0-----|4--------X--------------|A|------------------------|---------4--------4-----|E|------------------------|------------------------|E|0--0--0--0--0--0--0--0--|0--0--0--0--0--0--0--0--|B|2--2--2--0--0--0--0--0--|2--2--2--0--0--0--0--0--|G|1--1--1--1--1--1--1--1--|1--1--1--1--1--1--1--1--|D|2--------2--------2-----|2--------2--------2-----|  Repeat for a loong timeA|------------------------|------------------------|E|------------------------|------------------------|Verse 1:Use Riff 1 over and over.************************************I'm goin' from strange to strangerevery year (2x)I take it back, your panickingI take it backI just don't knowI really thought I wanted to goBut when you're closeYou look through me just like a ghostI like sleepin'I'm only safe when I'm dreaminI need a new heartThis one's hollowAlways schemin'Pre-chorus:Palm mute this ENTIRE section, dudesslight or no distortion*************************************A5(PM)        E5wait for the  summer, and then you F#5           A5wait for, the winter, but there's a A5            E5total lack of splendorChorus:distortion**************************D5(PM)        A5zeeeeeee-en   brainA5/G#           F#5Throw away your crutchesE5                 D5         A5All your childhood crutches a-wayD5(PM)        A5suuuu-per     brainA5/G#           F#5Never scared of nothin'E5          D5          A5Violence or lovin' my wayInterlude:Distorted everythingI'm not 100% sure on the solo, but when it's overdriven enoughand you're headbangin' away, it sounds right.The chords could be slightly different too.
