Dr. Horrible Lyrics -- Slipping -- Guitar Chords Tabs

Now for the Act III tension builder where our favorite villain (anti-hero?) gets caught monologuing, these are the tabs for "Slipping"

I don't have much prowess for tabs as it is, and the darker/minor the song the more difficult it is for me to transcribe, lemme know of errors or clarifications you can spot

Gm            Cm/G
Look at these people
Gm          Cm/G
Amazing how sheep'll
     Gm         Ddim
Show up for the slaughter
Gm         Cm/G
No one condemning you
      Gm      Cm/G
Lined up like lemmings
    Gm         Ddim
You led to the water
Gm                      Cm
Why can’t they see what I see?
               Gm             Cm
Why can’t they hear the lies?
Gm                 Cm                 Gm
Maybe the fees too pricey for them to realize
F#dim            Gm       Cm/G Gm
Your disguise is slipping
Cm/G           Gm       Cm
I think you’re slipping!
 
Gm            Cm/G       Gm           Cm/G
Now that your saviour is still as the grave
       Gm           Ddim
You’re beginning to fear me!
Gm                Cm/G
Like cavemen fear thunder
  Gm            Cm/G
I still have to wonder
    Gm         Ddim
Can you really hear me?
Cm/G
I bring you pain
    Gm                    Cm/G    Ddim
The kind you can’t suffer quietly
Cm
Fire up your brain
Gm                     Gm
Remind you inside your rioting
F#dim      Gm      Cm/G  Gm
Society is slipping
Cm/G         Gm      Cm/G D
Everything’s slipping     away…
 
So…
 
Gm        Bb
Go ahead, run away
Cm         D
Say it was horrible!
Gm               Bb
Spread the word, tell a friend
Cm            D
Tell them the tale
Gm         Bb
Get a pic, do a blog
Cm         D
Heroes are over with!
Gm           Bb
Look at him, not a word
Cm          D
Hammer meet Nail!
Gm          Bb
Then I win, then I get
Cm         D
Everything I ever
Gm            Bb
All the cash, all the fame
Cm         D
And social change
Gm       Bb
Anarchy, that I run
Cm                  D
It’s Dr. Horrible’s turn

(Chords)
 
Gm         Cm/G
No sign of Penny
      Gm           Cm/G
Good, I would give anything
Gm          Ddim
Not to have her see
     Gm       Cm/G
It’s gonna be bloody
     Gm       Cm/G
Head up Billy Buddy
        Gm          Ddim
There’s no time for mercy
Gm           Ddim
Here goes no mercy!

The line "Everything I ever

The line "Everything I ever wanted"
"All the cash...."

It should be "Everything I ever..."
He never finishes the line and that's reflected in the last song with the echoing voices singing (Everything you ever...)

Thanks

Corrected

Also, the lyric is "Anarchy

Also, the lyric is "Anarchy that I run" because although he wants the status quo changed, he wants control over it.

Corrected

Thanks

Where's the last piece?

I really appreciate you taking the time to do all this. Are you going to post the last piece? Where Billy truly becomes Dr. Horrible when Penny dies.

"... Dr. Horrible is here
to make you quake with fear"

"...and I won't feel
a thing."

Soon

I hope to do it tonight

Your vs You're

Fire up your brain
Remind you inside your rioting
Society is slipping

I can buy "your rioting society is slipping"

What if it's:

Fire up your brain.
Remind you, inside you're rioting.
Society is slipping.

It's not society that's rioting. It's you. It's just hidden under the surface.

Minor, I realize. Just my two cents.

I like the 'you're' version

I like the 'you're' version better.
It fits better, makes more sense.

The under the surface thing. ^_^

Agreed

"You're" makes more sense here than "your", especially given the phrasing of the previous verse.

Sheep'll

To me this line was always the internet slang word "sheeple", meaning, quite literally, "sheep people". Usually used for people who cannot form their own political views. It could go either way, though.

Well, you're wrong. Sheep'll

Well, you're wrong.

Sheep'll refers to:

and if you read the previous lines text this supports it....

"Sheep Will"

Amazing how Sheep'll ( Sheep will)
Show up for the slaughter.
