Abuse Me --------By Silverchair, Written By Daniel Johns, Tabbed by Abe Gibson Off of the CD Freak Show, Live Performance, and MTV. In Dropped-D like every song of theirs.
I tried many times to figure out this awesome song but I had no luck for some reason. Finally I saw them live in Seattle, which rocked, and saw some kind of MTV production that had them in concert. I taped the MTV thingy and watched it about 20 times to get it right and then I used my ear, which isn't great, off the CD to get it 100% right. I think it is pretty accurate. But anyways:
INTRO: I think they're using a phaser. Aadd9?

BRIDGE: Ok, the first Riff is the main one. The other two are fills played in the background after the main one.
