No Threat Tab - das_hips - 10-21-2005

well, I know it's early, but I couldn't help myself from immediately jamming out to this song... either way, heres what I came up with Tab-wise... it may not be the most organized guitar tab, but it's fairly accurate...

Verse Two (same as verse one)

gotta a window-washer's eye
for an untuckable sky
for lonely design
the past is no place to

Pre-Chorus Two (same as Pre-Chorus One)
try, but I'll get my mind's armies moving at full-stride
singing in one voice, preoccupied
and with nothing to say, I'll sing it bright - that's right!

Chorus One

I am here
C-G
it's only me
A#-A#-C-A#-C
I ain't freed nobody yet
C-G                  A#
it's just me
C-G
I'll just be a sec
A#-A#-C-A#-C
I'm a cleaner, I'm no threat, no threat, no threat
C-G            A#             C-A#       A#
I'm a reader, I'm no threat.
C-G           A#

Bridge

who sings lonely?
C#-C
everyone sings lonely
D#-D#-F-D#
it doesn't sound so bad
C#-C                D#

C#-C-C#
everybody's freed from the tired of being sad
D#-D#-D#-F-D#          C#-C-C#            D#
so sad
D#

Pre-Chorus 3 (same as pre-chorus one and two)

how will I know?
how will I know if I'm helping?
moreso, how will she know if I'm helping?
if I’m not in the saddle, I'm nothing - that's right!

Chorus Two (same as Chorus One)

I am here
it's only me
I ain't freed nobody yet
it's just me
clearing spider-webs
I'm a listener, I'm no threat
I am here
failed and failing breath
I'm a listener, I'm no threat, no threat, no threat
I'm a watcher
I'm no threat
no threat

*Lead Guitar during Chorus Two is essentially the same as guitar one,
but periodically involves sliding to the higher octave of the root note...

i.e.
when Guitar one plays

E-----------------                                            E----------------
B-----------------                                            B----------------
G-----------------         Guitar two will either play        G---s12----s15---
D----5-----8------         the identical chord, or slide to   D----------------
A----5-----8------                                            A----------------
E----3-----6------                                            E----------------
     G     A#                                                      G      A#

I need to get this song. I didnt get the greatest hits cause Im tight on cash so I go the DVD instead. I already own all the albums so its was hard to buy the "Hits" for 2 extra songs


- chris - 01-03-2006

Check out eBay: The Greatest Hits CDs can be had for about $15.

I'm pretty sure you can buy single songs from the Yer Favourites album on the iTunes webstore...that might be a little more reasonable for ya....good luck!!

Ahhhh Bobby! We can always count on you to be the voice of reason. No Threat is available for the nice price of 99¢ from iTunes.
