Four years of hard work!This month of May we celebrated four years on the air. We continue working on the dissemination of this wonderful instrument, thank you for participating in our story!
From the album "Stuff Like That There" (2015)
The song is essentially a simple four-chord progression interspersed with a surf rock guitar riff,
plus a solo thrown in. I tabbed out the main guitar riff, but I'm too lazy to do the whole solo,
but it's pretty easy to figure out. Enjoy!

Is there an automatic doom that's waiting for you?

Automatic doom
A A/G# F#m E
Is there a magic floating chalice waiting for you?

And would you be depressed if you determined that your quest is over?

Are you prepared to see the bad things that you say emblazoned boldly
A/G# F#m E
In gold letters on your tomb?
