Biography:
The Butthole Surfers are an American band founded by Gibby Haynes and Paul Leary in Corpus Christi, Texas in 1981. Incorporating elements of hardcore punk, psychedelia, heavy metal, avant-garde and performance art, their live shows also made heavy use of strobe lights, background films (of note, footage of penis reconstruction surgery) and naked dancers. The band has a well-reported appetite for recreational drugs, particularly psychedelics, an evident influence on their sound.

Am D-D*-D G Am
Am D-D*-D G D F C
Take me, break me.........

G D F C Am G
Take me, break me, tell me a good one...maybe I'll cry.
C G D F C Am G* Am
Go with me, show me, tell me a good one...maybe I'll die.
G D F C
Lately, I've been dancing in ceiling fans,
Am G
into the kitchen, and out the back gate.
C G
I know it sounds strange
D F C Am G*
Am
but it could be the other way 'round to the ground where I know I must stay.
(***NOTE*** G* is the G chord but only strumming the E A and D strings
to get the sound of the chord. )
low
Later on in the song the lyrics and chords go...
C Am G* Am Am G* Am G**
"Tell me a good one, maybe we'll die.........togetherrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr, etc.......
(***NOTE*** G* is the same as above.
G** is the G chord but only strumming the G B and E strings
to get the HIGH sound of that chord.
