ISRAEL'S SON by silverchair
Transcribed by Braamo (bpsmith@socs.uts.edu.au)
Repeated baseline on introduction:
E---------------------------------|
B---------------------------------|
G---------------------------------|
D---------------------------------|
A--5--5----------5-------------5--|
E--------0--(3)-----3--0--(3)-----| () = hammer
then guitar with distortion:
E------------------|
B------------------|
G---7--7--7--7-----| x 3
D---7--7--7--7-----|
A---5--5--5--5-----| followed by C power chord
E------------------|
then verse:
D C C
E----------------------------------|
B----------------------------------|
G--7--7----------5-------------5---|
D--7--7----------5-------------5---| repeated
A--5--5----------3-------------3---|
E--------0--(3)-----3--0--(3)------|
chorus:
D D C B C
E------------------------|
B------------------------|
G--7--7-----5-----4--5---| x 3
D--7--7-----5-----4--5---|
A--5--5--0--3--0--2--3---|
E------------------------|
then the chords Bb and Eb
Verse again
Chorus (x2)
D chord hold for many bars
Introduction baseline again
Verse as baseline only
Chorus (x2)
Then this baseline is played:
E----------------------------|
B----------------------------|
G----------------------------|
D----------------------------|
A----------------0--(3)--5---|
E--3--1--0--(3)--------------|
The chords to some of this baseline (ie. G F E C D) are
then played as the singing becomes shouting. The song
quickens in pace a bit at this stage and it becomes a
prick to play all the chords in time -
my advice, do ya best!

Verse Chords: A / / / G / D / C G A repeated until over-drive sets in:
A G D C G
The water out of the tap is very .... hard to
A B C
drink .... Very hard to drink
Following each C chord in this leadin to the chorus, this riff is played:
E---------------------------|
B---------------------------| Parentheses indicate hammering
G--------------3-(5)-0-2--|
D--------3-(5)-------------|
A--3-(5)-------------------|
E---------------------------|
This riff is closely followed by the A chord in the next series of
chords whether its the A-B-C of the leadin or the chorus itself (A-D-C-D)
after the second verse. The exception being in the first verse where the
song goes into a soft interlude:
E---5-5-10--12-10-----------8-10--12-10------------|
B---5-5-10--------10-12-10--8-10--------10-12-10-|
G---------------------------------------------------------|
D---------------------------------------------------------|
A---------------------------------------------------------|
E---------------------------------------------------------|
As mentioned above, the chorus is simply A to D to C and back to D.
And thats the whole song:

FAULTLINE by silverchair
Transposed by Braamo (bpsmith@socs.uts.edu.au)
Not much tablature to speak of, just a shit loada chords:
A A6
E-------0-----------------------0---------------
B-------2-----------------------0---------------
G-------2-----------------------2---------------
D-------2-----------------------2---------------
A-------0-----------------------0---------------
E-----------------------------------------------
These are the two that are important, others such as C6 and Bb6 are
just the A6 chord on the 3rd and 2nd frets repectively.
Verse:
D D6 D C6 C C6 C C6 C C6
Unsuspecting brother .... doesn't know what to do
Bb6 Bb G
When everything just falls to the ground...
(same again)
He runs to find some cover, he doesn't have a clue
That his friend will never be found.
Bb C Bb G
When he's been told, that he....
Chorus: [Over-drive/distortion]
F F F D F D#
Will never see the boy, will never see the boy,
Bb G
Will never see him open his eyes.
D F D
We'll never see the boy, we'll never see the boy
Bb G
We'll only hear his heavenly cries
Bb C Bb G F F F
Ooh yeah, ooh.
D A Bb G D A Bb C
Ooh! Ooh!
After second chorus, the interlude repeats:
D / A G F / / /
Chord progression before the song holds on C is
D / A G F E D C
In case you haven't figured it out, after the power C which holds for
8 beats a power D is played and held for 8 beats.
The song finishes with an indecipherable sequence which seems to be just
C and D in no particular order. I just play this by repeating:
E-----------------------------------------------|
B---7---5---7---5---5---(7)---5-----------------|
G---7---5---7---5---5---(7)---5-----------------|
D---7---5---7---5---5---(7)---5-----------------|
A-----------------------------------------------|
E-----------------------------------------------|
The same chord progression described above is played (a little quicker)
after this little interlude and finishes like this:
C / / / / / / D

A---5-----8----3-----5---3---1---3---5---7---|
E--------------------------------1---3---5---|
Distorted Second guitar basically repeats the following
during the verse:
D5 / D5/F D5 / D5/F D5 C5 D5
D5 / D5/F D5 / D5/F D5 G A
The G and the A could probably be left out and you could just repeat
the first line over and over, and noone's really gonna notice.
For the chorus, repeat (including the beginning C (may be a
C5 if you can't be bothered) when repeating):
C G F G Bb
Pure Massacre!! Pure Massacre!!
D5 / D5/F D5 / D5/F D5 C5 D5
D5 / D5/F D5
The lead out of the chorus takes you
straight back into the verse chords.
There is an interlude:
D Bb C G D Bb C G
There's people crying ..... there's people dying.
D Bb C G D Bb C5
But someone's taking ..... it all...
These chords are also used at the end:
D Bb / C G

UNDECIDED by silverchair
Transcibed by Braamo (bpsmith@socs.uts.edu.au)
The boys may tune their guitars down a step
ie. D-A-F-C-G-D - but that's too much of a bugger
when you can "get away" with normal tuning:
There are various rhythms to the main riff in the song,
but if you stick by this and then adapt it to the
drumbeat, you won't go wrong:
E-----------------------------|
B-----------------------------|
G---1__2--1--*----------*-----| * = silence
D---2__3--2--*--2--0--2-*-----| _ = slide
A---2__3--2--*--2--0--2-*-----|
E-----------------------------|
Change at end of verse:
G A Bb
-----
Chorus:
E G F Bb
Undecided,
E G D A
can't make up their mi-i-i-i-ind
E G F Bb
Her parents were lying,
E G D A
they've left you behi-i-i-i-ind...
-----
Bridge:
F# / / / B / A E x 4
-----
End:
E---------------------------|
B---------------------------|
G---------------------------| x 3
D--2--0--2--0--2--3--2--0---|
A--2--0--2--0--2--3--2--0---|then E chord to finish

Verse:
Bb F G# D# Bb F G# x 2

Chorus:
C A Bb F x 4

Second Verse has no guitar until the G# just before the
C#/C combo.
-----
Riff something along the lines of:
E-----------------------------------------------|
B--3--3-3-3-3-3_6--6-6-6-6-6_9--9-9-9-9-9-11-*--|
G-----------------------------------------------| _ = slide
D-----------------------------------------------|
A-----------------------------------------------|
E-----------------------------------------------|
* = every second repetition this adds a riff on the 9th and 11th
frets on the second string which is a little indecipherable,
no one notices the riff anyway, so just do anything.
Following the riff, the song reverts to the C#/C combo and then
into the chorus before finishing on a Bb.
