Chords for The Melvins - "Revolve" Ernie Ball Set Me Up Session

_ Why is something good?
It's arbitrary, I have no idea.
Why is the Louis Louis riff good?
It's good, for some reason.
Na na na na na na na.
Why is it good?
Why was Elvis [Bb] good?
Why?
[Bm] _ Elvis was good because he was a freak.
[Bb] That's why.
[D] _
_ _ _ _ _ [C] _ _ [D]
I started playing guitar [G] when I was about 18.
Late for most people.
But at this point now I'm 49, [F] so I've played guitar for most of my life.
[G] But I started late.
Most [F] of the songs I write, well 99% of them end [B] up as Melvin songs.
But [Gb] I write a lot of songs all the [Dm] time that haven't ended [Eb] up anywhere yet.
Lord only [F] knows. _
_ _ [Gbm] _ _ [F] The guy I played with the longest, Dale, he was in band,
[Am] so he understands how music works, really.
[F] He always says that my [Gb] one is different than everybody else's one.
[G] So_
[E] I've almost been hesitant [F] to try to actually learn how to do it right
[E] because maybe it'll ruin it.
_ [C] _ _ _ [Gm] _ _
_ _ [Eb] The song I'm going to play today is a song called Revolve.
It's off our Stoner Witch album.
[A] I think we recorded it in 93 or 94.
Was it really that long ago?
My God.
It's a relatively popular song for a band that doesn't have any popular songs.
I wrote it in San Francisco at a hotel, believe it or not.
I was messing around with the guitar and came up with this little riff I liked
and then built it off the intro riff.
The guitar is tuned down, so it's [D] normal tuning.
The E is drop D.
Basically, I came up with this riff that was like a hammer-on. _ _ _
_ _ _ _ Imagine the drums going with it and everything. _
_ Then I came up with the rest of it.
[G] _ _ [D] _ _
_ _ _ I had to come up with something that would [D] go after the vocal
that would kind of tie the verses together.
_ [Ab] _ _ _ [E] _ [D] _
_ _ [F] _ _ [N] And then I'm not a big fan of verse, chorus, verse, chorus, bridge,
verse, chorus, chorus, chorus.
I'm not into that.
I had two verses, which is almost my limit in a row.
It's like, what?
Then I had to come up with something else.
I have two vocal parts, verse, chorus, verse, chorus.
Then there's no more chorus or verse.
There's a little vocal part after that,
but I don't return to the beginning of the song.
I think it's boring for me to do that.
Now I throw in [Bm] this dissonant thing.
_ _ _ [F] _ _
_ _ [Ab] Then the middle [D] part. _ _ _
_ _ Then it goes back to the dissonant. _ _
[F] Then when the [D] vocal starts, you take the dissonance out. _ _
_ _ _ [G] It's the same thing.
It [N] just doesn't have that. _
