Third Eye Blind
Burning Man
Tabbed By Cox (Orpheus_Rocks@hotmail.com)
Standard Tuning
This song is fairly straight forward, but still plenty of fun to play. Give
it a shot, you should pick it up pretty quick. I am fairly confident in the
accuracy of this, but if you have any corrections, feel free. Also, I think
I did a poor job of tabbing the rhythms, so you will have to figure that
much out on your own.
Verse
|----------------------------|
|----------------------------| x3
|----------------------------|
|--x-x-10--------7-7-5------|
after every 3rd of that, do this.
|--------------------------------|
|---------------8----------------|
|----------8-10---10-8-----------|
|-x-x-10p8-------------10--2-2-3-| (I think that's the correct fill, but I
am not positive. In any event it works =) )
Pre-Chorus
|----------------------------------|
|----------------------------------|
|------------------0--0--0-2-2--0h2|
|-3-3---3-3-3----3-----------------|
|----------------------------|
|---------2-2--2-5-5--5-7-7--|
|-3--3--3--------------------|
Back to verse, same way as before. Then do this alternate Pre-Chorus
Pre-Chorus 2
|-------------------------------------|
|-------------------------------------|
|------------------0--0--0-2-2--4-2-0-|
|-3-3---3-3-3----3--------------------|
|------------------------------------------------|Note:I like to play
|------------------------------------------------|the quick double D
|---------2-2--2-5--5-5-5h7-/9-9-9-9/12-12-12-12-|(5 on A) like 5p4 to
|-3--3--3----------------------------------------|add some more
accent to it.
Chorus
|----------------------------|
|----------------------------|
|-5-5-5--------5-5-5--7-7-7-7|x2
|-------3-3-3----------------|
Post-Chorus
|-------------------------------|
|-------------------------------|
|-------------------------------|
|-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-3--3-3-3-3-3--3-|
That's all the parts to the song. From here, the order goes.
Verse (all the way through 3 times)

| While I agree that some 3eb songs are focused around sex, I don't think that's completely the case for "Burning Man". For those of you who have read On The Road by Jack Kerouac, there's a quote that sums up how I imagine the band to live their lives: "The only people for me are the mad ones, the ones who are mad to live, mad to talk, mad to be saved, desirous of everything at the same time, the ones who never yawn or say a commonplace thing, but burn, burn, burn, like fabulous yellow roman candles exploding like spiders across the stars and in the middle you see the blue centerlight pop and everybody goes 'Awww!'" I think this quote encompasses Stephan and the band perfectly. The entire book is about a man traveling across the country in search of his real identity while spending time with an eclectic group of friends, a theme that shows up in the song. Like people have said before, it's all about finding your own way in life and enjoying every second of it. That's what it means to be a "burning man". | |

| its about living freely, without worries. like a burning man, there is an art festival called the burning man festival, where people just go and create art freely, and at the end of the festival the burn a human figure. | |

| Easy...... 'rise and fall of my sloppy love the smatterings and splatterings' is sex, and smatterings getting you is pregnancy possibly. Maybe a girlfriend or affair of his was very paranoid about un-planned-for babies. Also, 'hold me down I wanna find out' is sexual discovery of personal technique, perhaps. Kinky. Ummm... 'You know you never get what you need',Maybe she never orgasms? Blue Diamonds are a brand of matches, caffeine is an upper, basically excitement. Not sure about incineration, squelching desire by giving in to it? (My way) 'Pull out of your stall, maybe I'll see you after all' is use of a pun that PARENTS use, "Kinda like closing the barn door after the horses have escaped" 'Burning man', easily a man overheated by his....mojo. 'I won't get enough until my legs are broken' , going at it like a couple of little rabbits until you poke an eye out with that thing!!!!! 'Life is not to fear' the irrational fears of a virgin. 'Life is to enjoy' a come-on line of some sort. Mr Death.....who knows for sure? I like that line the best out of them all,however..... ' sparks will fly into the summer air' 'the stars they shine in an empty void' is the ecstatic visions acheived during orgasm, falling into 'the summer sky' and they being the stars,so to speak. she must not have been too impressed, or she would've called. Definitely the theme is sex. | |

| I totally agree with the above statement. I love the way Stephan says things in a different way to make the fans really think about what the song is about. :D | |
