Biografia:
On top of fronting the melodic pop-punk quintet of Lagwagon, vocalist and guitarist Joey Cape also moonlights as the frontman for Bad Astronaut. Accompanied by former Nerf Herder and Swingin' Utters bassist Marko 72 (also of Sugarcult) and Lagwagon drummer Derrick Plourde, this indie rock three-piece debuted in their hometown of Santa Barbara in early 2000. With their polished but mature and complex presence that resembles Cape's full-time gig, Bad Astronaut released their first EP, Acrophobe, courtesy of Honest Don's Records in early 2001.

BAND: Bad Astronaut (or Joey Cape)
SONG: Violet
STANDARD TUNING: EADGBe
Tabbed by: Shaun Booth
Key: F is a low F: 133211 (the 211's are optional to your playing)
Fh is a high F: x81010xxx (an octave up)
It sounds better to play barre chords for most of the chords except maybe the Dm.
F G A# C F
Tonight the drunks are infected, we're on our way
G A# C F
As if they drop by to see me uninvited
A# C Fh C A#
And I am a wallflower, maybe a better father
C
This is a job
F G
For seconds I miss the Bentleys
A# C F
Today maybe they'll call,
G A# C F
You describe every prison you pass through them all
A# C F Aadd9
Then he asked you for your head and I vowed to burn your bed
Dm G A#
Try to pretend, but this is your life,
C
somehow, it feels right
-----------------------
bridge: (see an alternative way to play this bit at the end)
F C
I'm calling this evolution, I'm falling for institution
Dm C A#
Warm submission enveloping you
D|-0-2-3--2-0-----|
A|------------3-1-| (violin fill)
E|----------------|
(repeat chords)
Tomorrow I'll survive the questions
Knives buried with cold indifference
My world is true rendered by you
(violin fill x2)
Aadd9 A# C F
Here they come again, I could never find the words
C A#
So I disguised them in verse
C Fh
Until it comes out dumb and wrong,
C A# C
The simplest song, if you sing along
---------------------------
*bridge: alternative playing method
the way i originally learnt that bridge section:
* * #
G|-10-10-7-7-77-5-55-555-3~-|
D|-10-10-7-7-77-5-55-535-3~-|
A|--8--7-5-5-55-3-33-333-1~-| -then play the violin fill
E|--------------------------|
*played 16 times
#note the little change here
The Joey Cape version of the song on the Tony Sly split has an extra section to
it:
F A#
(Marry me Kristen, marry me Kristen
G C
I want to be the only one)
(use the "bridge" chords for this)
I'm painting a revolution
I'm falling for institution
Warm colors enveloping blue
D|-0-2-3--2-0-----|
A|------------3-1-|
E|----------------|
("bridge" chords again)
Shot of comfort in a warm convention
Medicinal injection
36 years ended by you
*
D|-0-2-3-2-0---5-3-2-0-3--|
A|-----------3------------|
E|------------------------|
*as this 3 is played, the F chord for the next section is played, so you can play
them simultaneously
F G
Tonight the drunks are infected
A# C F
We're on our way
key:
/ = slide up
= slide down
~ = let ring
X = mute
just listen to the song to get the timing
email me if you have any questions/queries
will post a youtube video soon
