If you've not seen and enjoyed the newest Joss Whedon creation Dr. Horrible, you should certainly check it out. What can be better than a musical with Neil Patrick Harris? I've spent a bit of time to write out the lyrics and guitar chords/tabs to the first song that appears in Act I which I would imagine is entitled: "With My Freeze Ray" The chords aren't by any means perfect, but if you fake like I do on the piano you'll have no problem convincing people you're right.
Intro -- 4 beats to each chord, right hand stays positioned on G for the first 3 chords
C G6/B Am G
C G6/B Am G
C G6/B Am G
Laundry day, See you there, Underthings, Tumbling
C G6/B Am G
Wanna say, "Love your hair," Here I go: Mumbling
F C G6/B
With my freeze ray I will Stop, The World.
F Ab D

C G6/B Am G

C G6/B Am G

C G6/B Am G

F C

this. is. amazing.
My favorite song from the series. Sounds great on guitar.
Awesome!
Thanks for working these out. Sounds great!
Small lyric correction:
"It's not a death ray or an ice beam, that's so Johnny Snow"
Where "that's so Johnny Snow" is in the same vein as "that's so last year" or whatever. Based on the email before the one that leads into the song, Johnny Snow is a cold-based superhero(-wannabe) who emails Dr. H claiming to be his nemesis and challenging him to combat.
Corrected
Thanks for the suggestion, I made the change
thanks!
Thanks for putting the time into these. I have a feeling that the music from Dr. Horrible will be camping out in my head for quite a while. I'm waiting for the terrible, quiet moment when I'm overwhelmed by the urge to sing and the Bad Horse theme bursts, Alien-like, from my lungs to the befuddled surprise of my co-workers.
Thank You Thank You Thank You
I can't wait to try the chords out on guitar tonight. It's sad that the videos were up for such a short time. It's a very weird thing for me to REALLY like a musical, but I can't get these songs out of my head, and at the same time I can't get all the words right.

Excellent Job
Great job putting all these together and putting them up here for all of us, but I do have several corrections for this song (really the only one I have found mistakes in)
I found the main pattern to be:
C Em/B Am7(no 3rd) G
On piano this looks more complicated than it is. It's just C for four beats and then the finger from the C goes to a B, and then in the next measure down to an A (hence the weird chord name, the notes are: e, g, and a)
And instead of: F Ab D Ab D it's F Fm/Ab Dm Fm/Ab Dm
And finally, this phrase is as follows:
G
that I'm the guy to make it real
Am/G
the feelings you don't dare to feel
Keep up the great work! This was the only song I had figured out, so I was thrilled to play all the other songs you tabbed (chorded?) finally!
Thanks
I've applied most of these changes, I'll do the more tedious changes later. I'm sure there are just as many in the other songs :)
another way
although this:
G
that I'm the guy to make it real
Am/G
the feelings you don't dare to feel
sound pretty good, but I think it's more:
G
that I'm the guy to make it real
A/G
the feelings you don't dare to feel
.. not putting the A in minor, because I think that the minor makes it sound silly :S.. but it's true about the piano just keeping the same chords, when I play it I play it like this:
C, C/B(or actually H where I come from), C/A, G,
Dr Horrible
So I used the following chords:
Verse:
C = 032001
020010
AM
300010
Chorus
F
C
F
466544
D
Thats pretty much it. Check out my cover here:

Chords?
I'm a huge guitar noob, and these chords are unfamiliar. It would be great if a key were included for people like me!
