"Pain Lies On The Riverside" by Live from the Mental Jewelry
Tabbed by R. Allen Canterbury
I'm not sure about the chorus or bridge parts...what I have written is a
very simple way to play it (the roots of the chords basically...) so do
whatever you like in that part. I get the feeling this song played 1/2 step
below standard tuning (Eb,Ab,Db,Gb) since Live usually tunes down...but you
can play it the way I have it written and it sounds cool. I indicate the
verse riff as being played slap-style. You can use a pick and turn the highs
up if you like to get that slap-like sound. The verse is played quickly so
if your slap technique is lagging or a bit slow, it'd be hard to play w/o a
pick. Hey...it's just notes. You play them as you like!

| Pain Lies On The Riverside I have never taken life, Yet I have often paid the price And you, you are a victim of this age And the guilt that hangs around your neck Has got me locked up in a cage ***** this is saying - I never killed Christ - but I have paid the price (like JC paid for all sins) - And that the guilt associated with Christianity had our Nation / communities wrapped up in Dogma - prayer in schools - in god we trust - What happened to separation of Church and Sate*** You've to learn to live until no end But first you must learn to swim All over again Because... (You have to learn to let go of revealed religion and "learn to swim all over") Pain lies on the riverside And pain will never say goodbye Pain lies on the riverside So put your feet in the water Put your head in the water Put your soul in the water And join me for a swim tonight *** Pain lies in baptism - and you will never let go of the pain/guilt/sin of Christianity - the way he sings in anger - is almost sarcastic*** I have forever, always tried To stay clean and constantly baptized I am aware that the river's banks are dry And to wait for a flood Is to wait for life *** He has tried to live a Christian life - but now realizes that revealed religion / Christianity is not the "truth" about God - and to wait for the flood (Noah's ark reference - is to wait forever - No Christ - no return) I've got to learn to live until no end But first I must learn to swim all Over again Because... Pain lies on the riverside | |
