Astral Plane


This song has two main riffs. listen to the record to get the feeling
of the time, etc, but the basic rifs are the "E riff":


e-0---0----------------0--
B-0---0----------------0--
G-1---1----------------1--
D-2---2----------------2--
A-2---2----------------2--
E-0---0---3---5---3----0--

I guess that would be written as E   E/G  E/A  E/G  E , but it is
easier for me to think of it this way.

The "A riff" is about the same except it uses an A intead of an E.


e-0---0----------------0--
B-2---2----------------2--
G-2---2----------------2--
D-2---2----------------2--
A-0---0----------------0--
E-X---X---3---5---3----X--


The chord progression during the organ solos sounds like:

E A E B E

Here are the lyrics with the chords:
