 Okay, I've seen both versions at OLGA, now here's the real one.  I got 
 it directly off the live video tape of Mad Season playing at the Moore 
 in Seattle.  Here we go...
 There are only two basic chords in the whole song- 
   
    E A D G B e
 F: 0 3 3 2 1 1(somtimes open)
 G: 3 2 0 0 3 3
 
 Not too difficult, you just have to figure out the strumming...
 
 Intro:
 
 -------------------------------------------------------- 
 --3---3h5p3--3--0-----------------------------0----0---- 
 --0----------------4p2p0---2---2s4s2p0---2----0----0----   Repeat 3x
 ----------------------------------------------0h2--2----
 --------------------------------------------------------
 --------------------------------------------------------
 
 This is basically the same as the first tab at OLGA, so you can use that 
 one if this one confuses you...
 
 Now this(whatever you call it):
   F         G
 --1---------3---3------
 --2---2-----3---3------
 --3-----2---0---0------   Strum freely, listen to the song. 
 --3---------0---0------
 ------------2---2------
 ------------3---3------
 
 Now this is played throughout the entire song:
   F      G   ?
 ---------3---2--;--3-------------------
 --1------3---3--;--3--3h5p3-3----------
 --2p0----0---0--;--0-----------4s2p0---  This fill is only played in the 
 --3------0---0--;--0-------------------  second verse, and not all the 
 ----------------;--3-------------------  time. 
 ----------------;--2-------------------
 
 Just listen to the song for the strumming.
 
 Verse:This is where I've seen the majority of the screw ups, here's how
       McCready plays it on the video tape.
 
 --3------5------8--8--8p7--7--8p7--7--8-------------
 --3------5------8--8--8----8--8----8--8-------------
 --0------0------0--0--0----0--0----0--0-------------
 ----------------------------------------------------
 ----------------------------------------------------
 ----------------------------------------------------
 
 The rhythm might be hard to follow, but you can pick that up also.
 
 Now just play the intro once for the outro and that's it!  I hope I did 
 a good job, this is my first tab and I've only been playing two months, 
 so I would love some criticism and/or comments.  Hey if anybody has 
 figured out "Lifeless Dead" by Mad Season, e-mail me at 
 rbracke@okstate.edu.  I think I've figured most of it out except for the 
 solo, so I would appreciate some other attempts. Later!

 I think this is more accurate than the current version at OLGA 
 River of Deceit
 by Mad Season
 transcribed by kevin gardner code@wam.umd.edu
 
 Notes:
 This song only contains two chords Fadd9 and
 G major, the same progression used in HendrixUs
 I donUt live today.  I sugest that for the Fadd9 chord
 you cover the high E and B strings with your first finger,
 the G string with your second finger,
 the D string with your pinky, the A
 string with you ring finger and the low E with your thumb.
 
 h=hammer on
 p=pull off
 s=slide

 Group: Mad Season
 Song: River of Deceit
 
 This is one of the better songs of the Above album.  It isn't any easy 
 song to figure out. I did my best so that is all i could do.  A lot of the
 music in this song is just going into little scales of the chords being
 played. Anyway here is my best try at it:
 
 notations:
 **********
 s=slide
 h=hammer on
 p=pull off
 v=vibrato
 
 guitar parts:
 -------------
 this part is played in the begining
 
 E |------------------------------------------------------------------------|
 B |--8-----8------------------------------------------8----8---------------|
 G |--7-----7h9h7--------------------------------------7----7h9p7-----------|
 D |--------------9p7----------------------------------------------9p7------|
 A |-------------------10--7--10--7--10-----5h7-5v----------------------10--|
 E |------------------------------------------------------------------------|
 
 
 E |-----------------------------------------------------------------|
 B |----------------------------8----8-------------------------------|
 G |----------------------------7----7h9p7---------------------------|
 D |---------------------------------------9p7-----------------------|
 A |--7-10s12--7--10---5h7-5v-------------------10--7--10s12--7--10--|
 E |-----------------------------------------------------------------|
 
 
 E |-----------------------3-----3---3-----3--|
 B |-----------------------3-----3---3-----3--| then go
 G |-----------------------0--x--0---0--x--0--|  to the
 D |--7--------------------0--x--0---0--x--0--|   verse part
 A |--------10s12---5------2--x--2---2--x--2--|
 E |-----------------------3--x--3---3--x--3--|
 
 
 verse:
 ------
 this part i'm sure is a C to G progression, but i'm not sure how he 
 hammers on and pulls off notes, this is close enought though
 E |--0----0--0--0--3--3-x--3--3--3--3--|
 B |--3p1--1--0--1--1--3-x--3--3--3--3--|
 G |--0----0--0--0--0--0-x--0--0--0--0--|
 D |--2----2--2--2--2--0-x--0--0--0--0--|
 A |--3----3--3--3-----2-x--2--2--2--2--|
 E |-------------------3-x--3--3--3--3--|
 that is basically the verse, he does some other improvisational stuff 
 which is just going into scales (i believe the G-scale) and goes a bit
 crazy
 
 chorus:
 -------
 this is the best i could come up with.......... 
 when you get to the D-chord in this progression, work with the hammering 
 on and pulling off to get the real effect of the song.
 E |--3---3-3---3-3p2--2--2--2-3p2--2-2-2--|
 B |--3---3-3---3-3----3--3--3-3----3-3-3--|
 G |--0-x-0-2---2-2----2--2--2-2----2-2-2--|
 D |--0-x-2-0---0-0----0--0--0-0----0-0-0--|
 A |--2-x-3-0---0-0----0--0--0-0----0-0-0--|
 E |--3-x-0--------------------------------|
 
 then after the chorus, it goes back to the verse
 
 ******at the end of the song just go back to the first part of the song
 =======================================================================
 =======================================================================
 that is basically it (that is my best try)
 
 oh......if you want to use two guitars but can't both play the song, you
 could do one of two things:
 1)when the lead guitarist is playing you could strum the whole chord while
 he is playing (with a lower volume) to give a fuller effect.
 2) (my personal choice) You could solo over the song, which sounds very cool.
 But you might be saying to yourself, i don't know what scale? Well i'll tell
 you which scale, use the G-scale.
 
 this ins't the entire G-scale, just the part that i like to use for the song
 
 E|-----------------------------10-12--------------------------------12-15-17-|
    
 B|-----------------------10-12------------------------------12-15-17---------|
 
 G|----------------7-9-12----------------------------12-14-16-----------------|
 
 D|----------5-7-9-----------------------------12-14--------------------------|
 
 A|------5-7------------------------------12-14-------------------------------|
 
 E|-3-5-7----------------------------12-15------------------------------------|
 
 (the notes are in no particular order, just go crazy)
  work with it, it will sound good
