Backwater

Meat Puppets

Biography:

Meat Puppets is an American rock band formed in January 1980 in Phoenix, Arizona. The group's original lineup was Curt Kirkwood (guitar/vocals), his brother Cris Kirkwood (bass guitar), and Derrick Bostrom (drums). The Kirkwood brothers met Bostrom while attending Brophy Prep High School in Phoenix. The three then moved to Tempe, Arizona (a Phoenix suburb and home to Arizona State University) where the Kirkwood brothers purchased two adjacent homes, one of which had a shed in the back where they regularly practiced.

MEAT PUPPETS RULE

Intro (E-C#m-C-D) with solo guitar melody line


E5 F#5
And when I wake up in the morning
C5 E5
To feel the daybreak on my face
E5 F#5
There's a blood that's flowin' through the feeling
C5 E5
With a knife to open up the sky's vein

E C#m
Some things...will never change
C
They just stand there looking backwards
D
Half unconscious from the pain
E C#m
It may seem...rearranged
C D
In the backwater swirling there is something that'll never change

And when I shoulda' been gone a long time
Laughs...and says I find ways
Just when we're sheltered under paper
The rockets come at us sideways

E C#m
Some things...will never change
C
They just stand there looking backwards
D
Half unconscious from the pain
E C#m
It may seem...rearranged
C D
In the backwater swirling there is something that'll never change

F-G C B
Hey...I'm blind
D
Good...fine
C B
Roll the time
D
On whose dime?

-Solo-(over E-C#m-C-D)

And when I wake up in the morning
To feel the daybreak on my face
There's a blood that's flowin' through the ceiling
With a knife to open up the sky's vein

Some things...will never change
They just stand there looking backwards
Half unconscious from the pain
It may seem...rearranged
In the backwater swirling there is something that'll never change

Some things...will never change
They just stand there looking backwards
Half unconscious from the pain
It may seem...rearranged
In the backwater swirling there is something that'll never change

-Solo outro-
