Song:  "I Am a Wicked Child"
Album:  B-Side from the "Go to Sleep" Single
Transcribed by Paul150 for mxTabs.net

This is a pretty simple song, quite similar to Talk Show Host in the fact that one quite simple lick repeats itself throughout most of the song.  It is a 

pretty good song, especially for a B-Side.  In addition to the Go to Sleep Single, I believe this can be found on the Com-Lag 2+2=5 EP.


Intro/Main Riff:

e|--------------8--6-----|
B|--8--8--6--6--------8--|
G|--7-----7-----7--7--7--|
D|-----------------------|
A|-----------------------|
E|-----------------------|


Sonetimes, they play this variation on the Main riff (Listen to the song to hear it).
(Notes in parentheses indicate to hold that note).

e|-----------------8---6------|
B|--8--8--6--6--6----------8--|
G|--7-----7-----7-(7)-(7)--7--|
D|----------------------------|
A|----------------------------|
E|----------------------------|

Arpeggiated part: (Powerchords may be strummed if you want)


e|----------------------------------------|
B|----------------------------------------|
G|----------------------------------------|
D|--------8-----------10--------10-----5--|
A|-----8-----8-----10----10------------5--|
E|--6-----------8------------8------8--3--|

For some parts, chords are played instead of the main riff:


e|--------------------------|
B|--------------------------|
G|--------------------------|
D|--------------------------|
A|--5--5--5--5--8--8--8--5--|
E|--3--3--1--1--6--6--6--3--|

There is a breakdown part, where Thom is just saying, "Ooohhh" in his signature voice.  Play the following chords:


e|------------|
B|------------|
G|------------|
D|--8--10--5--|
A|--8--10--5--|
E|--6--8---3--|

At the end of the breakdown, play this:


e|---------|
B|---------|
G|---------|
D|--10b11--|
A|--10b11--|
E|---8b9---|

That should be about it.  All the pieces should easily fall together when you play the parts along with the song.

Enjoy!
