Play this, and repeat it…then at “The coffee that somehow, leaks out of your cup…” just move it up a whole step.

Alternate version of guitar part above, based on the studio (Billy Breathes) recording:

e---------------------------------------------------------- b---------------------------------------------------------- g---------------------------------------------------------- d---------------------------------------------------------- a-----9-------------10---10-8-10-------------10---10-8—9— E----10----7—9—11------------7----7—9—11-----------10— Repeat one whole step up during verse.

Verse: D G I feed from the bottom, you feed from the top D G I live upon morsels you happen to drop E A
The coffee that somehow leaks out of your cup D G If nothing comes down, then I’m forced to swim up This pattern is used in all the verses Chorus:

D           C G       D            C  A

So I ask you why If I’m swimming by

Am Bm C D
Don’t you see anything that you’d like to try? The jam goes something like this: Am Bm C Bm Am Bm D
then: Am Bm C Bm Am etc. …finally resolving to: Am Bm D The outro is D & G alternated with the layered lyrics in the background

After the last “don’t you see anything that you’d like to try”, they hang on D for a few bars then Trey plays this part, and the jam part begins after this. When you get to the A flat part, the open D may sound a little funny at first (since it’s not in the Ab scale) but if you listen closely you can definitely hear the repeating open D throughout the entire part. The whole part is even eighth notes. You can email me at eric_j_sievers@yahoo.com Enjoy! Transcribed by Eric Sievers from 12/7/97 version.

From: “Ryan Richards” soda_jerk@hotmail.com The jam from “Theme From The Bottom” on Billy Breathes is just a repetition of DCG up until around the 4:23 mark where it just pounds away on D and continues with some other distorted chords here and there that may or may not be right from the original tabbing of this song. Just before they go back in to the overlapping lyrics Trey plays a distorted chord for two bars that is something like this… ---x--- ---10— ---3--- or ---x--- ---2--- ---7--- ---5--- ---0--- ---x--- ---x---
---x--- ---10—

Then the overlapping lyrics are played DCG, and not just D & G. Hope this helps a little bit.
