Revolution - Taken from 'This Gift' 12"

This is Mudhoney's version of a Spacemen 3 song.

In the UK it appears on the BB side to 'This Gift', but im sure
i've seen it on an Australian Import as well.

Its very simple to play, with just two chords used for most of
the song. The chords used are all power chords and are as
follows -

   E5E5   G5G5   A5A5  C#5C#5  D5D5
   X   X   X   X   X
   X   X   X   X   X
   9   12   14  18   7
   9   12   14  18   7
   7   10   12  16   5
   X   X   X   X   X

/ - slide up
\ - slide down


The intro is played using E5E5 G5G5 and A5A5

    E5E5     G5G5     A5A5
e|------X-X-X---/---X--X----/---X--X--X---\-
BB|------X-X-X---/---X--X----/---X--X--X---\-
G+G|------9-9-9---/---12-12---/--14-14-14---\-
D MajorD|------9-9-9---/---12-12---/--14-14-14---\-
A augmentedA|------7-7-7---/---10-10---/--12-12-12---\-
E MajorE|------X-X-X---/---X--X----/---X--X--X---\-

Play the above sequence 3 times. At the end of the first
two times slide back to E5. At the end of the third playing,
slide up to C#5C#5 and play the chord about 16 times.


The rest of the song is made up by playing the following

    E5E5          D5D5
e|------X--X--X--X--X--X--X--\--X--/-
BB|------X--X--X--X--X--X--X--\--X--/-
G+G|------9--9--9--9--9--9--9--\--7--/-
D MajorD|------9--9--9--9--9--9--9--\--7--/-
A augmentedA|------7--7--7--7--7--7--7--\--5--/-
E MajorE|------X--X--X--X--X--X--X--\--X--/-

After playing the intro 3 times, slide down to D5D5 and strum the
chord once. Then slide to E5E5 and play the above sequence. The
sequence basically just involves playing E5E5 and then sliding to
D5D5 and playing it once then sliding back up to E5.

The lyrics are as follows,

During the C#5C#5 strumming - 'Alright look out'
The Spacemen 3 version has slightly different lyrics.

I hope that makes sense, to get a feel for the song its best to
have a listen to the record.

General points - play with distortion on, after the lyric
'REVOLUTION' really let go!

Enjoy
