Ground And Down

by the one and only- PIGFACE!!!!

from the 1992 album Fook.

------------------------

okay. this is a cool song. It's also a VERY simple song.

Most Pigface is like that.

the main bassline is:

V V V V (The V's are accents)

e-7-7-7-7--7-7--8-8-8-8--8-8--|

I play it on guitar.... so do it like so:

V V V V

a--9-9-9-9--9-9---10-10-10-10--10-10--|

e--7-7-7-7--7-7----8--8--8--8---8--8--|

the only other significant part is a sort of violin-type sound... like this:

e----------------------------|

B----------------------------|

G--------------------------4-|

D-2--5-2-5-2-4--2--5-2-5-2---|

A----------------------------|

E----------------------------|

that's it... the lyrics are:

Meg:

I have your see-eye and here is my hand

As blue and cold as ???????????

Go for a pound

10 Ground and down

Chris:

When the morning after caughs a crippled mile

Curse the morning after Tuesday's child

Wake into the hard song, gold in my hand

Engage report pending, promised land

Chorus: (Meg)

Here is my heart on hand, sharp as a blade

One down I say two

I close my own hand

Go for a pound

10 Ground and Down

10 Ground and Down

Chris:

Careful when your skin returns to dirt and gold

Foreign bastards dress the centerfold

Million drool and madness seems to start the race

Tuesday's child removes her guilty face

Meg:

I'm not going to rake this shit anymore

I won't have it in my house

You see, I've seen it all before

10 Down and hundreds more

Chris:

Crimes remain credentials, dirt remains sublime

Silence and sedation undermined

Fake the bastards outcry, nail it to his chest

Bone and skin descending burns the best

Meg:

I'm not gonna have this anymore

You see I've heard it all before

I won't be beaten to the ground

10 Down and then 10 more

that's it homeboys... i'm going to do/have done some more... but I'd

appreciate some help... anyone.

e-mail for whatever reason...
