Song: Lifeless Dead
Band: Mad Season
Album: "Above"

Mad season was a "side project" members from bands such as pearljam, alice and chains, and screaming tree's.  The album is very interesting.  This is track six from the CD.  As i was listening to the CD this track caught my ear, so i decided to figure it out.  Also on this CD is "river of deciet" which i think got some radio air time a year or so ago.  Anyways, i think this is the correct tab, but i am open to suggestions.  Feel free to mail me at rosenblm@maybaum.med.umich.edu. Enjoy!


 opening riff/chorus:



 e|-----------------------------------|
 B|-----------------------------------|
 G|-----------------------------------|
 D|-----7--7--5-----------------------|
 A|--------------6----0-3-3-4-5-0----|
 E|-----------------------------------|



verse:

"Lifeless dead, that unclean bed....."

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



 play above (2x) then at the end of the second time add these
two chords:

 e|--------------- |
 B|--------------- |
 G|---10---9\-----|
 D|---X----X------ |
 A|---8----7\-----|
 E|--------------- |



play above a few times then play:

"alone on dirty floor he slept...."

 e|------------------------|-----------------------|
 B|------------------------|-----------------------|
 G|------------------------|--10--9---5--5--4-----|
 D|---5-7-5-7---5-7-5-7---|--X---X---X--X--X------|
 A|------------------------|--8---7---3--3--2--0--|
 E|------------------------|-----------------------|


After you play the above to end  the "verse" you play the opening riff/chorus again as Layne Stanley says "yeah, lifleless dead...."  This is basically what this song is composed of.  There is a bridge in the middle, but i havn't had time to figure it out.  If you listen to the CD you will get the order of the parts a bit easier.
