                             HAPPY HOME - Garbage
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Tabbed by: gothimyes
Email: got_him_yes AT hotmail.com

Tuning: Drop D (D A D G B e)

This song is more complex than you think...

Any comments or problems, just email me

Note: The outro is a bitch, and it sounds like there are 2 guitars and synth
all playing in opposite directions, so I've only tabbed 1 of them.
If you play along you should notice that it fits in well

Enjoy!


Verse 1 (guitar, vocals only)

This is palm-muted, on only 1 string. I won't write the repetitions, it's
easy to figure out anyway, just listen to the song

   D           F       G      F   E           D           F       G    A
e|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|
B|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|
G|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|
D|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|
A|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|
D|-0-----------3-------5------3---2-----------0-----------3-----5-------7----|

  "In my happy home, I barely breathe.       In my lovers arms I find relief"

                 Bb         F             G         A
e|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|
B|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|
G|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|
D|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|
A|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|
D|---------------8----------3--------------5---------7-----------------------|

  "And there's a sky that's changing and a bird that sings"

           Bb         F                G             D
e|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|
B|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|
G|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|
D|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|
A|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|

  "I never once in my wayward life was heading to run out"

Verse 2

Palm-muted as well (until just before the chorus, D)
Use 2 strings this time if you want. Notice that the 1st line is different to
the first verse.


D            F      Bb       F      E
In my lovers arms I wait for morning
  D             F         G        A
I beg my god to speak and tear me apart
    Bb          F        G           A
I'd lay down my body I'd lay down my arms
        Bb         F                      G       D
I never once in my sweet short life meant anybody harm


Chorus
Use full power chords this time (eg, D = 000---)
Listen for repetitions, and for palm-mute at the end

 Bb  F  G  D  Bb  F  A


Verse 3
Same instructions as previous verse.
Notice that the 1st 2 lines here are different to the previous verses.

D           C      Bb       F  E
In my happy home i read the signs
D            C      Bb      A
In my lovers arms I move in time
        Bb      F                  G       A
There's no more crying and there's no more lies
        Bb         F                    G           D
I never once in my sweet short life was waiting for desire


Chorus
same as before


Bridge
power chords again. The D# here is -688--

F  C  D#  Bb  F


Verse 4
Same palm-muting, etc

            Bb      F
And there's no more crying
            G       A
And there's no more pain
        Bb              F               G                D
I never thought for one second I'd have nothing left but shame


Chorus


Outro (guitar, vocals only)
Same 1 string thingy as per Verse 1. Notes are different here though
Listen for the timing of chords for the instrumental outro thing


   D           F      G      A
e|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|
B|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|
G|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|
D|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|
A|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|
D|-0-----------3------5------7-----------------------------------------------|

  "In my happy home I barely breathe"

           Bb         F                G             D
e|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|
B|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|
G|---------------------------------------------------0-----------------------|
D|---------------------------------------------------0-----------------------|
A|---------------------------------------------------0-----------------------|
D|---------8----------3----------------5-------------0-----------------------|

  "I never once in my wayward life was heading to run out"

(Instrumental outro)
This is a bit tricky so read carefully.
The first line is just the lead-in, and has no repetition
The 6 lines after that uses high F, but after that it uses low F

D           = 000----------|
Dh (D high) = -577---------|
D#          = -688---------|
F           = 333----------|
Fh (F high) = -8(10)(10)---|

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

C  Bb  Dh  Bb  F  D#  Bb  C#  D#

Fh  C  D#  Bb
Fh  D#  Bb  G#  Bb
Fh  C  D#  Bb
Fh  D#  Bb  C#  D#
Fh  C  D#  Bb
Fh  D#  Bb  G#  Bb

F  C  D#  Bb
F  D#  Bb  G#  Bb
F  C  D#  Bb
F  D#  Bb  C#  D#
F etc...
