aldog@concentric.net claims that his version of "Tired of Sex" is
correct, but I have to disagree. He's posted the verse, but there's a lot
more to the song than that.
"Tired of Sex" by Weezer
from the album "Pinkerton."
Tuning: Tune to Eb
(Eb, Ab, Db, Gb)
Here are the three main parts of the song:
Gb ----------------------------------|
Db ----------------------------------| verse
Ab --------5---5-7-5-----------------|
Eb --3--3------------8-7-------------|
Gb ----------------------------------|
Db ----------------------------------| chorus A
Ab ----------3-3-3-3-5-5-5-5-7-7-7-7-|
Eb --3-3-3-3-------------------------|
Gb ----------------------------------|
Db --5-5-5-5-------------------------| chorus B
Ab ----------3-3-3-3-5-5-5-5-7-7-7-7-|
Eb ----------------------------------|
Bass intro:
Eb ---/10---
(slide up to the 10th fret on the E string,
then slide down and start the first verse.)
Play verse 10x
Chorus:
A A B
I guess you could call this a "post-chorus"
(played right after the first chorus):
("Why can't I be making love come true?")
Gb ----------------------------------------|
Db ----------------------------------------|
Ab -----------3--2-------------------------|
Eb --1-1-1-1--------5----------------------|
Play verse 10x
Chorus:
A B A
Post-chorus:
("Why can't I...") Very fast after you hit the high E.
Gb --------------------------------------------------------------|
Db --------------------------------------------------------------|
Ab ------------3333-2222-----------------------------------------|
Eb --11111111------------55555555/12 12 12 12/19 19 19 19--------|
Solo:
Play verse 4x
Chorus:
A B A
The B chorus is different here. From what I can tell, Matt slides
between the 5 and 7 on the A string, like this:
Gb ----------------------------------|
Db --5-5-5-5-------------------------|
Ab ----------3-3-3-3-5-5-5-5-/75/7--|
Eb ----------------------------------|
Followed by the final post-chorus:
Ritard (slow down...)
Gb ----------------------------------|
Db ----------------------------------|
Ab -----------3--2-------------------|
Eb --1-1-1-1--------5--0--7----------|
Outro:
Eb --3/10-3/10---
Then the verse 4x and end on the G.
So, the basic layout of the song would be:
Intro
Verse
Chorus
Verse
Chorus
Solo
Chorus
Verse (Outro)
That, my friends, is the bass tab to "Tired of Sex." At least, I think
so. But, if you don't agree, or you just want to praise me for my
wonderful piece of work, send any comments/questions/corrections to:

| i feel this song demonstrates a struggle for alot of guys. it is not exclusive to rock stars. it is a struggle between good and evil, between the primal erge to spread our seed; to mate with many women and the desire to have one "true" companion who you can trust, love, cherish ect. this song is one of my favorites...the expression of frustration is amazing. | |

| this song really shows the change of a horny teenager into an adult, who from experience knows there is more to life than sex. Rivers seems to be stuck in the middle, he knows that he needs love in his life but his body is "addicted" to sex. | |

| Why, can't I be makin' love come true? *shakes head* Rivers, rivers, rivers.... Sigh. I think we all can somehow relate to the song in a way, how we long for our true love to come one day.... | |

| It seems that Rivers had some casual sex after the Blue Album. "I know I'm a sinner, but I can't say no" and he liked it! It's okay Rivers, in the great words of George Michael "Sex is wonderful, sex is great, sex is best when it's...one on one." So rock it out, scream and shout...But I hope you find true love someday. | |
