Bug

by Trey Anastasio and Tom Marshall
Transcription by Jon Martin


This version is different from their
 live one. It requires mucho
Ross Compressor->TS9 (Light 
Crunch)->Ibanez DMD2000 Delay 
(.33ms).
The light delay gives each note a 
searing/sonic sound. It also helps
to sustain the notes.

Problems: I'm having problems trying
 to figure out the EXACT chords to
          the chorus. Also, I don't 
know the exact words used in the 
chorus.
          Someone is saying 
something ("Don't need it) in 
harmony with "It
          doesn't matter.". All 
summer it sounded like "Der-E-ned."


Intro:
Use distorition to get some 
feedback. Turn on your Univibe
to get the rotation sound and then 
whip it off before going to
the verse chords

     D
E---------------------------------
B---------------------------------
G----7----------------------------
D---------------------------------
A----5----------------------------
E---------------------------------

Verse:
Whether Trey plays these notes as 
power chords or not is debateable.
You can either play them this way or
 just play the notes on G string.

   F#   F#     E     D     E

Hold this note for 8 measures and 
then add the F on the high E string

eighth measure.

      D          F
E---------------(22)--------------
B---------------------------------
G-----19--------------------------
D---------------------------------
A-----17--------------------------

Pre-Chorus (Alternative):
Hold the first chord then, instead 
of adding the F on the high E, play 
this.

Chorus:
If you have another TS9 (or 
distortion channel), turn it on and
belt out these three chords.

Lyrics:

Verse 1:

There've been times that I've 
wondered
And times that I don't
Concepts I'll ponder
And concepts I won't ever see
God is not one of these
Former or latter
Which did you think I meant
It doesn't matter to me

Chorus:

It doesn't matter
 (Don't need it)
It doesn't matter
 (Don't need it)
It doesn't matter
 (Overrated)
Overrated

Verse 2:

Gold in my hand
In a country pool
Standing and waving
The rain, wind on the runway
Spending or saving
Credit or death
Which did you think I meant
Nothing I see can be taken from me

Chorus:

It doesn't matter
  (Don't need it)
It doesn't matter
  (Don't need it)
It doesn't matter
  (Overrated)
Overrated
