NO ONE LIVES FOREVER!! (Farewell Version)
By Danny Elfman and performed by Boingo
Transcribed by (who else?) Cameron Miller

Okay, guitar in this song is rather slight and involves a lot of improvising with distortion. If you don’t want to take my word for it listen to the different recordings of the song and guitar parts are different! O.K., lets get on with it.
Intro: Just mess around your dive bar and try to get the guitar to echo (Is that possible?)
Main Rift (Heavy distortion):
E--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
B--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
G--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
D---4-4-4----5---6-6------4-4-4----7---6-6-----4-4-4----5---6-6-----4-4-4----7---6-6---
A---4-4-4----5---6-6------4-4-4----7---6-6-----4-4-4----5---6-6-----4-4-4----7---6-6---
E---2-2-2----3---4-4------2-2-2----5---4-4-----2-2-2----3---4-4-----2-2-2----5---4-4---
 Verse (again HEAVY distortion)
E-----------------6/7\--------------------------6---
B-----------------6/7\------------------------6-----
G----------------6/7\------------------5---5-------
D-----------3-----------------------5--------------
A----9---2---------------4---4--4-----------------
E------9\---------------3---3----------------------
The best way to make this part sound like the song is by bending the pitch a lot. If your distortion is right it’ll come out like the original.
For the next few parts when you aren’t playing main rift or verse just do this:
E---1---X---1---X------
B---1---X---1---X-----		That’ll do for the whole base line of the song.
G---1---X---1---X-----
D---1---X---1---X-----
A---1---X---1---X----
E---1---X---1---X----
       1    2     1    2
Next is the instrumental bridge:
E-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
B-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
G-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
D-----------------------------------------------------7-7----6-6----5-5------
A--------6-6-7-7-----6-6-----5-5-------------6-6-----5-5----4-4----3-3--  
E----5-5----------5-5-----4-4-----3-3----5-5--------------------------------
Repeat that then:
E--------------------------------
B--------------------------------
G--------------------------------		
D------------------------6-6----
A-------6-6-7-7---6-6---------
E---5-5----------5----------4--		Do that whole thing twice then there’s the
First solo: I’m taking this off the Farewell dvd. I think he’s using harmonics, but I’ll just do it without them.
First solo:
E------------------------------------
B-----------------------------------
G----7----------6-----5-----4-----
D-------------6-----5-----4-------
A------5---5-----4-----3---------
E-----------------------------------
Play instrumental once then there’s
Second Solo (LONG ONE):
E--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
B-------14---14----14----14----13---13---13---13---12---12---11---11---10---10---9---9----
G---12----12---12----12-----11---11---11---11---10---10----9----9----8----8-----7---7------
D-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
A-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
E-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
On both of those remember to bend pitch and use liberal amounts of distortion.

And there ya go!
Have fun
