Song:  Life Is A Scream
Artist:  Violent Femmes
Album:  Why Do Birds Sing?

Transcribed by Wes Torres 

Notes:  This is a very simple song.  Basically two chords.  Another TAB I 
        saw used E5 and D5 but I believe it is A5 and D5.  The Bass just
        plays the root notes.  In between each verse they jam over D.

intro:
(guitar) D5
(bass)   D

(break)

(guitar) D5
(bass)   D

A5
she said to me, Oh, I don't know what you mean
D5
All I'm trying to do is trying to make your scene
A5
I said to her no way baby life Ain't what it seems
D5
Well don't you know baby that life is a scream?
(no chords)
AAAAAAARRRRGGGGHHHHH!!!!!!

A5
She came up to me in her high fashion and sheen
D5
well don't you know she was trying to come clean 
A5
I said to her no way baby life Ain't what it seems 
D5
Well don't you know baby that life is a scream?
(no chords)
AAAAAAARRRRGGGGHHHHH!!!!!!

A5
She said to me oh, I love it when you're mean
D5
don't you know it's boring when it's quiet and serene
A5
I said to her no way baby life Ain't what it seems
D5
can't you get it through your head that life is a scream?
(no chord)
AAAAAAARRRRGGGGHHHHH!!!!!!
