Porcelain God

This is a killer cut from Stradley's first CD recorded in 1995. Music

written and tabbed by Tom Alspach and lyrics prepared by Ryan Johnson.

Timing is a little off, listen to the CD and you should be able to piece it

together. The solo is killer, I'll try to tab it later. For now you should

be able to fake it through it.

Return to verse rhythm after a whole rest.

Here are the lyrics:

Verse 1

It was a Friday night

Chillin' in by room, drinkin' some brews

It was a Friday night

I layed back

Closed my eyes

When the world started spinnin'

To my suprise

It was a Friday night. . .

Oh no another Friday night of. . .

Chorus 1

PRAYIN'!

Prayin' to the porcelain God

I was prayin' mother f*ucker!

Prayin' mother f*ucker

Prayin to the Porcelain god. . . dammit

Mother f*ck you!

I'm dyin' mother f*cker

Listen to me!

Listen

Verse 2

I threw up my lunch

I threw up my dinner

I threw up my mother f*ckin' innards

Oh God noooooo!

Chorus 2

I was Prayin'

Prayin' to the porcelain God

I was prayin' mother f*cker

Prayin' mother f*cker

Prayin' to the porcelain God

F*ck you bitch.
