Chords with lyrics
_Notes:_ Fifth track on Playing With Fire - an
incendiary song very much in the MC5 vein, and one of
the harshest Spacemen 3 songs ever. This is
essentially a solo composition by Sonic that shows up
on the Spacemen 3 album. Ironically, this is one of
the most widely known Sp3 songs even though it is
wildly uncharacteristic - it was their most popular
single, and was bastardized by Mudhoney (a move which
caused Sonic to retaliate, vastly improving ¨When
Tommorrow Hits¨ on Recurring). Still a brilliant song,
and the only overtly political song the Spacemen ever
recorded.
_Effects:_ This is heavily distorted. Any generic fuzz
pedal will do the trick. This song is essentially all
power chords.
Define chords:
E5E5 - X799XX or 022XX0
D5D5 - X577XX or X00X3X or 10,12,12,X,X,X
G5G5 - X,10,12,12,X,X or 355XXX
A5A5 - X,12,14,14,X,X or 577XXX
*For D5D5 (alternate): form a Dsus/F# chord, but leave
Es, 
G+G muted
_Rhythm:_ The song is played in 4/4. After the intro
(see below), the only chords used are E5E5 and D5. Play
E5E5 for 1 3/4 bars, strum D5D5 once, and repeat.
All the solos are essentially variations on this:
e - 0-0-3h5h6p5p3p0
ok:
Intro:
/ = Slide up
\ = slide down
E5E5 (strum twice, pause, strum once) /
G5G5 (strum twice, pause, strum once) /
A5A5 (strum once) \
x3
Verse:
E5E5 (1 bar)
E5E5 (3 strums)
D5D5 (1 strum)
x(many)
Then just play that verse sequence through the whole
song.
