I think this is one of the best songs from the album. 

Dave uses a Heil Talk Box for the guitar effect, but using a wah pedal  
gets you  
halfway there

(let chords ring out on every verse)  

A5                         E5 
Lately I'm getting better 
F#5 
Wish I could stay sick with you 
D5 
But there's too many egos left to bruise 



RIFF D 

A5                                  E5 
Call it a sin you call it what ever 
F#5 
Eating deep inside of you 
D5 
Well if were me it's all I'd ever do

A5                       E5 
Stealing now and forever 
F#5 
I'll steal something good for you 
D5 
But the criminal in me is no-one new 

RIFF E (x2) 

A5                            E5  
Til you find something better  
F#5 
When there's nothing left to use 
D5 
And everything starts going down on you 

RIFF E (x2) 

chorus 

E5  
I'm the generator,  
                    F5 
Firing whenever you quit, 
                 F#5 
Yeah whatever it is, 
                    RIFF F 
You go out and it's on, 
A5 
Yeah can't you hear my motor heart, 
D5 
You're the one that started it. 

RIFF B 
RIFF C 
RIFF B 
RIFF C 

A5                       E5 
Standing out on a tether 
F#5 
Swing me around I'll spin your news 
D5 
You let it down I'll hang around with you 

RIFF E (x2) 

A5                            E5 
Til you find something better 
F#5 
And there's no-one left to use 
D5 
And everyone keeps going down on you 

RIFF E (x2) 

CHORUS 

Play an E chord for 16 beats then.... 

RIFF G (x4) 

CHORUS 

I'm the generator,  
I'm the generator, 
I'm the generator,  
I'm the generator you're on, 
Yeah can't you hear my motor heart, 
You're the one that started it.

There, that's it. Once you've learned the riffs, it's quite easy. Listen to 
the CD if you want to get the exact timing.
