Everything Louder Than Everything Else Tab

by Meat Loaf


i added where everything that's not chords

                       this whole thing repeats twice
Wasted youth!   Wasted   youth!    
                     
Wasted youth!   Wasted   youth!

in both of these verses there is no guitar during the actual singing..
the second half is played, just listen to the song

                                                     
I know that I will never be politically correct
                                                      
And I don't give a damn about my lack of etiquette
                                                           
As far as I'm concerned, the world could still be flat
                                              
And if the thrill is gone, then it's time to take it back
                                              
If the thrill is gone, then it's time to take it back


Who am I? Why am I here? Forget the questions, someone gimme another beer
What's the meaning of life, what's the meaning of it all?
You gotta learn to dance before you learn to crawl
You gotta learn to dance before you learn to 

       
crawl

i palm mute this, do what you will

                        
So sign up all you raw recruits
                        
Throw away those designer suits
           
You got your weapons cocked
                          
Your targets in your sights
                                           
         There's a party raging somewhere in the world
                                      
You gotta serve your country, gotta service your girl
                                       
You're all enlisted in the armies of the night


                                         
And I ain't in it for the power
                         
And I ain't in it for my health
                            
I ain't in it for the glory of anything at all
                                
And I sure ain't in it for the wealth
                                              
But I'm in it till it's over and I just can't stop
                                             
If you wanna get it done, you gotta do it yourself
                             
And I like my music like I like my life

                         
Everything louder than everything else
                         
Everything louder than everything else
                             
Everything louder than everything else


 Bm        Em/B  A#dim/B    G/B   A   from here until "they say i'm wild and i'm
Wasted    youth! Wasted    youth!     reckless just do little slides and stuff, 
                                      don't play the actual chords unless you
                                      want to
             
     They got a file on me and it's a mile long
         
And they say that they got all of the proof
        /
That I'm just another case of arrested development
                      
And just another wasted youth


They say that I'm in need of some radical discipline
They say I gotta face the truth
That I'm just another case of arrested development
And just another wasted youth


                               
    They say I'm wild and I'm reckless
                        
I should be acting my age
                                  
I'm an impressionable child in a tumultuous world
                                  
And they say I'm at a difficult stage
                           
But it seems to me to the contrary
                                               
Of all the crap they're going to put on the page


         B5    G5       A5       D5      there are six "wasted youths" and it
That a wasted youth is better by far     goes (by ending chords) 
                                       
Than a wise and productive old age       (so in order, 1 2 1 2 1 3)

                           
That a wasted youth is better by far 
                              
Than a wise and productive old age

                           
That a wasted youth is better by far 
                               
Than a wise and productive old age

from here until Mo, just strike each note once and mute it right away
                                                               
If you want my views of history then there's something you should know
                                             
The three men I admire most are Curly, Larry and Mo!
                                                           
If you don't worry 'bout the future, sooner or later it's the past
                                                           
And if they say the thrill is gone, then it's time to take it back
                                              
If the thrill is gone, then it's time to take it back

again palm mute this

So sign up all you raw recruits, throw away all those two-bit suits
You got your weapons cocked, your targets in your sights
There's a party raging somewhere in the world
You gotta serve your country, gotta service your girl
You're all inducted in the armies of the night


And I ain't in it for the power, and I ain't in it for the health
I ain't in it for the glory of anything at all
And I sure ain't in it for the wealth
But I'm in it till it's over and I just can't stop
If you wanna get it done, you gotta fight for yourself
And I like my music like I like my life

Everything louder than everything else

this is repeated a bunch of times, and the first 6 times through (listen you'll
hear) are just bass and stuff, after that guitar comes in...try some weird stuff
add slides after the A is played, or play the a as X-12-14-14-14-12, then play
the D A and G one octave up as bar chords, stuff like that
FINAL RIFF (for bagpipes)

G---12--13--10--12--8----10-8-10-12----12--13--10--12--8----10-8-7-8
have fun, this is one of the best songs in creation
again i take no credit nor blame for chords, i gave instructions and the riff and
i think that's in the wrong key but the intervals are right
PEACE OUT
