Song: Fat Donuts (I Believe), Pure Massacre

*Note* During their tours in 95 through 97, silverchair played an intro for
their song Pure Massacre called I Believe or Fat Donuts. The lyrics and riff
arrangement changed nearly every show, but the main riff always remained
pretty much constant. So here it is; Pure Massacre w/ Intro.

Drop D Tuning

Fat Donuts Intro (play with some variation):

“There’s people cryin…”

All the parts are here, just arrange them correctly. i hate using napster and other mp3 sites
cos i respect musicians and don’t like stealing from them (!), but it’s the only way to get
live shows (usually) and therefore the only way to get rare, unreleased songs such as Fat Donuts.
Downloading concerts for free is ok, I think, cos you can’t buy that kind of stuff. So uh… yeah,
get this song. Send any comments/suggestions and or large sums of money to kingoftheeskimos@silverchair.org
Thanx for reading my tab, and good luck.
