Chords with lyrics

--------------------
transcribed by   |  Michael R. Oliver |
                  --------------------

this is a pretty good song off the sixteen stone album.  it isn't that
hard to play but is really cool to play. here is my best try at it.

chords used for this song:

Chord diagramC#C# |--4--|  Chord diagramBB |--2--|  Chord diagramG+G |--3--|  Chord diagramF#F# |--2--|  Chord diagramBb majorBb |-----|  Chord diagramA augmentedA |-----|
   |--4--|    |--2--|    |--3--|     |--2--|     |-----|    |-----|
   |--6--|    |--4--|    |--3--|     |--2--|     |-----|    |-----|
   |--6--|    |--4--|    |--5--|     |--4--|     |--8--|    |--7--|
   |--4--|    |--2--|    |--5--|     |--4--|     |--8--|    |--7--|
   |-----|    |-----|    |--3--|     |--2--|     |--6--|    |--5--|

these next chords, i don't know what they are called, so I will make
my own names for them (they are correct, i just don't know what they are
called.

C#(I) |------|  B(I) |------|  G(I) |------|  F#(I) |------|
      |------|       |------|       |------|        |------|
      |--13--|       |--11--|       |------|        |------|
      |--11--|       |--9---|       |--12--|        |--11--|
      |------|       |------|       |--10--|        |--9---|
      |------|       |------|       |------|        |------|

guitar parts:
-------------

verse:
------
the verse very simply goes like this (this is also the first thing you
hear when you play the song.  At times the other guitar comes in and
plays the same chord at a different spot on the fretboard. when that
happens, then you play the C#(I), the B(I), the G(I), and the F#(I)
progression while another guitar just plays the regular verse riff.


verse riff: C#-B-G-F#
(you must play the Chord diagramC#C# and the C#(I), the Chord diagramBB and the B(I), the Chord diagramG+G and the
G(I), and the Chord diagramF#F# and the F#(I) at the same time for the song to sound
right)


when the other guitar comes in and plays the C#(I), the B(I) etc., you
could definately hear it in the begining and he plays this progression
at various places throughout the song.

Chorus:
-------
the chorus is pretty easy, it goes like this
F#-Bb-F#-Bb-A

rythem fill #1:
---------------
at .23 seconds, .47 seconds, etc. the guitar plays this,
it just slides down from a Chord diagramG+G to an F#:
it goes:

Chord diagramE MajorE|--------|
Chord diagramBB|--------|
Chord diagramG+G|--------|
Chord diagramD MajorD|--5//4--|
Chord diagramA augmentedA|--5//4--|
Chord diagramE MajorE|--3//2--|

**another part of the song that occurs at 3.01 seconds in the song has the
  following progression

Bb-A-F#

the bass just plays the above progression (but if you wanted to you
could play along with the bass with an clean electric guitar).  Chord diagramA augmentedA guitar
plays the below part a couple of times.
Chord diagramE MajorE|---------------------|
Chord diagramBB|---------------------|
Chord diagramG+G|----------15---------|
Chord diagramD MajorD|------15-----15--13--|
Chord diagramA augmentedA|--13-----------------|
Chord diagramE MajorE|---------------------|

bass guitar:
------------
this is played during the verse (when just the bass, drums and vocals are
going) and is played when the guitar plays the C#-B-G-F# progression
verse:
Chord diagramG+G|----------------------------|
Chord diagramD MajorD|----------------------------|
Chord diagramA augmentedA|--4-4-4-2-2-2---------------|
Chord diagramE MajorE|--------------3--3-3-2-3-0--|
