Really great song by Bush. I really like this song, so I tabbed it. I didn't
put a whole lot of time in this tab, because the song is so repetitive. I don't
really have time to tab everything a whole bunch of times. But, I'm sure you'll
understand what I mean, when you play the song. It's a pretty easy song, just
basically a few power chords, and a riff. Alright guys, have fun!
CHORDS:
C#5 - (x466xx)
A5 - (577xxx)
E5 - (X799xx)
B5 - (x244xx)
F#5 - (244xxx)
INTRO: (Riff 1)
E|---------------------------------|
B|---------------------------------|
G|-6-6---8-8---9-9---11-11-11-11---| Play this 2 times. Then guitar 2 comes in
D|-x-x---x-x---x-x----x--x--x--x---| on the 3rd time and plays a C#5 chord.
A|-4-4---6-6---7-7----9--9--9--9---|
E|---------------------------------|
Now both guitars play: C#5 A5
Then go back to the intro, and instead of going to "C#5, A5"
play this:
E|----------------------------------------------------------|
B|----------------------------------------------------------|
G|----------------------------------------------------------|
D|-11--11---9--9---11--11---9--9---11--11---9--9---11--11---|
A|--x---x---x--x----x---x---x--x----x---x---x--x----x---x---|
E|--9---9---7--7----9---9---7--7----9---9---7--7----9---9---|
VERSE 1: (All bass until you get to the first A5)
C#5 A5 (Guitar enters)
Breathe in, breathe out, breathe in, breathe out, breathe in
C#5 (Guitar strum once, bass keep playin) A5
Breathe in, breathe out, breathe in, breathe out, breathe in
VERSE 2: (Play like verse 1, both guitar and bass here now)
Tied to a wheel, fingers got to feel. Bleedin' through it's okay to smile. I
spin on a whim, I slide to the right. I felt you like electric light.
For our love for our fear for our rise against the years and years and years.
CHORUS: (Mainly just bass)
E5 B5 C#5 A5
Got a machine head It's better than the rest
E5 B5 C#5 A5
Green to red Machine-Head
E5 B5 C#5 A5
Got a machine head It's better than the rest
E5 B5 C#5 A5
Green to red Machine-Head
F#5 A5 F#5 A5
And I walk from my machine. And I walk from my machine.
(You'll hear this riff in the chorus a little bit)
E|-----0-0------0-0---|
B|-4h5------4h5-------|
G|--------------------|
D|--------------------|
A|--------------------|
E|--------------------|
Now go back to riff 1 (intro) and guitar 2 plays a C#5. Then play the end of the intro.
VERSE 3: (Play like other verses)
Breathe in, breathe out, breathe in, breathe out, breathe in.
Deaf dumb and thirty, I'm starting to deserve this. Leaning on my conscious wall.
Blood is like wine, unconscious all the time. If I had it all again I'd change it all.
CHORUS: (Play like first chorus, but with fat distortion now)
Got a machine head, it's better than the rest. Green to red, machine head.
Got a machine head, it's better than the rest. Green to red, machine head.
And I walk from my machine, and I walk from my machine.
BRIDGE:
Play the intro riff then play the breathe in, breathe out part twice.
CHORUS:
Got a machine head, it's better than the rest. Green to red, machine head.
Got a machine head, it's better than the rest. Green to red,
BRIDGE 2:
A5
yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
E5 B5 C#5 A5
Better than the rest.
E5 B5 C#5 A5
Better than the rest.
E5 B5 C#5 A5
Machine-head
E5 B5 C#5
Head head head head <--- hmmm... anyone else "hmmming" about those lyrics?
OUTRO: (Slow way down here. Palm mute chords)
F#5 A5 F#5 A5
And I walk from my machine. And I walk from my machine.
And that's all for this song. Pretty easy. I didn't spend much time with this tab
mainly because it's so repetitive, so I can just write what to do, and it's up to
you to go back and see what to play. Don't you hate when people do that? I do!
Sorry guys, but I didn't have time to tab everything out a hundred times, so this
is the only tab of mine you have to do this with, and it's not even that bad. Okay,
if you've got questions (don't be afraid, cause even I have questions.. :), email me
