Title: Abuse Me
Album: Freak Show
This song is just a few simple chords. The beginning picking pattern doesn't ne
cessarily have to be followed.
Just play around with it for a while to get used to it. After the solo then you play
the bridge again and alternate those two different parts 8X. Then end on the
intro.

Lyrics:
need to ask a question
calling out my name
nothing seems to bother me
wish i had a clue
C'mon abuse me more i like it
well i don't think you like me
well i hate you as well
no one seems to like you
wish i couldn't tell
C'mon abuse me more i like it
C'mon keep talking 'cause its true
Throw the sailors overboard
Throw the sailors overboard, overboard
Abuse Me
Off of the CD Freak Show, Live Performance, and MTV.
In Dropped-D like every song of theirs.
I tried many times to figure out this awesome song but I had no luck
for some reason. Finally I saw them live in Seattle, which rocked, and
saw some kind of MTV production that had them in concert. I taped the
MTV thingy and watched it about 20 times to get it right and then I used
my ear, which isn't great, off the CD to get it 100% right. I think it
is pretty accurate. But anyways:
INTRO: I think they're using a phaser.
