Self-Infected by Katy Perry ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Okey, first of all. This is my version of the song (made acoustic / easier) and perhaps it dosen´t match at 100% of the original. However it´s a great song and the versions of it i found on the internet was a bit too bright for my voice to keep up with, so i made a tab myself. The only thing that could be tricky is the pre-chorus, it can take some time to get the rythm right there, however the song is otherwise pretty easy. Enjoy : -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Chords used: Bm: 2 2 4 4 3 2 D: 0 0 0 2 3 2 Dsus4: 0 0 0 2 3 3 Em: 0 2 2 0 0 0 Em7: 0 2 2 0 3 3 Cadd9: 0 3 2 0 3 3 G: 3 2 0 0 0 3 C: 0 3 2 0 1 0 C+ is in this case a normal C chord but with the G note added on the thin E string. Just to spice things up a little bit. Like this: 0 3 2 0 1 3 For soloing or riff / fill-making i suggest the G-major scale. Standard tuning ( E A D G B e) Capo on 2nd or 3rd fret, I got it on 3rd. Verse: Remember when I dove into the ground And I got a bloody knee under my skin A scar from wiping out + It brings back the memories Pre-chours: Every bone’s been broken But my heart is still wide open Chorus: I can’t stop, don’t care if I lose Baby, you are the weapon I choose These wounds are self-inflicted And I’m going down in flames for you Baby, you are the weapon I choose These wounds are self-inflicted One more thing I’m addicted to (play verse) With each scar there’s a map that tells a story What a souvenir of young love’s like Jumpin out an airplane right in a tidal wave of (play pre-chorus) An ocean Of emotion My heart rips me wide open Chorus Bridge: And I, cover up these scars (we make up, then we break up*) And I, cant stop seeing stars (I’m so knocked out whenever you’re around*) Chorus (play two times) Outro: Play the chorus over and over, and just go with the song like: “Ooh i can´t stop, no i can´t stop” End on G and fade out if possible -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- *Back-up singing if possible, ask your girlfriend.
