Subject: TAB: Crowded Head

"Crowded Head" Written by Ed Roland
               Tabbed by Michael Brooks

This is one of the best songs from Disciplined Breakdown.
It sounds a lot harder than it really is though, so I 
tabbed it out, It should be close enough for ya.
The chords are all 5ths, this gives it a bit heavier 
sound there aren't many high strings played. Also this 
song is in Normal tuning (E A D G B E).

The Song

(intro)
A                                 D A
All the words that I want to hear     
Are disturbed by your weaknesses and fear
A                                 D A
And your lies that I push away               
I might accept them on your good self pity day

-Chorus-
E                                         A          
All of your sadness is crowded in my head
E                                         A
All of your madness is crowded in my head
(follow as above)

And the peace that I really need
You substitute it for your policy of greed
Still your pride always sufficates
Any truth that your heat might want to make

(chorus)

G#2           
With all your static 
        A2                                   
B                                
I can't distinguish between what's being said
G#2
I have no room for this
A2                                   E
You see I'm living with a crowded head

And the path that I needed shown
You see me stranded in the darkness all alone
All the promises you feed to me
I'm now choking from their taste of cruelty

(chorus) X2
