Artist:Garbage Album:Garbage Song:Fix Me Now Riff 1 E ---------------- B ---------------- G -9-7---7-9\11/9- D -----9---------- A ---------------- E ---------------- Riff 2 E --------------- B --------------- G -9-7---7-9-7--- D -----9-------9- A --------------- E --------------- Riff 1 kicks in after 0:17. Riff 2 follows at 0:22. Riff 1 is mainly played alone throughout the song. When playing riff 1, I find itbest to slide down to 11 and slide back up to 9 without striking it. As for effects, I just play with a lot of distortion. I`ve noidea how they create that guitar sound. Verse E --------------------- B ---10--7---7---10--7- G -0-----------0------- D --------------------- A --------------------- E --------------------- This is played by a separate guitar over and over during the verse. The timing`s wrong, but listen to the song and play on top of it to get it right. Main Solo E ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- B ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- G -17-----14------------17------14------------17-----14-----------17-----14--- D -------------12--15----------------12--15---------------12--15-------------- A ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- E ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- I think this sounds better if you bend the string while sustaining the long notes, especially the 17`s. Solo 2 E ------------------------------------------------------------------ B ------------------------------------------------------------------ G -14----11---------14----11---------14----11----------14----11----- D -----------9--12------------9--12------------9-12----------------- A ------------------------------------------------------------------ E ------------------------------------------------------------------ This is similar to the main solo, just lower. This is played over the end of the chorus near the end the of the song. At the end, slide down to a higher note, but by this point it gets a bit drowned out by riff 1. With both solos the timing is out. Just listen to it, the changes are easy to pick out.

I`ve no idea how to play the chorus. I studied the album version and the live one, and it`s pretty difficult to pick out the chords being used as there`s too much to happening. So, I`ve did my best to try and capture the tone changeswith these chords, and I hope it might make sense to someone. Once again, timing is out, but listen to the song, and try andfind a decent strum pattern. This is more like an additional piece of guitar that I play on top, but it`ll do for now. After hearingthe song for the 10 billionth time trying to figure it out, your brain will tell you anything sounds good. Anyone got any better ideas? Now here`s how it all fits together... `Fix Me Now` Thing`s don`t have to be this way Catch me on a better day Riff 1, Riff 2 Riff 1, Riff 2 Riff 1 Bury me above the clouds All the way from here - Riff 1 Take away the things I need Take away my fear - Riff 1 Hide me in a hollow sound Happy evermore.- Riff 1 Everything I had to give Gave out long before - Riff 1 CHORUS Riff 1 Crashing silent broken down Falling into night - Riff 1 Who gave up and who gave in I`ll go without a fight - Riff 1 Cut me down or cut me dead Cut me in or out - Riff 1 Kiss me blind time after time Take away my doubt - Riff 1 CHORUS Main solo Riff 1 Thing`s don`t have to be this way Catch me on a better day Riff 1 Nowhere only down from here Pick me off the floor - Riff 1 Take away the things I dream One time, one place, one more CHORUS - Solo 2 overlaps the end of this Riff 1, Riff 2 Thing`s don`t have to be this way Catch me on a better day The song ends with riffs 1 and 2 being repeated over the last 2 lines, but for the final note, slide down to a higher note and sustain until everything stops. Hopefully that`s it. Corrections welcome. It`s the first full song I`ve tabbed so be gentle.
