Comments Welcome
Palm mute, 2x D, 2x
Top part: Rhy. Fig. 1
Basic Elemental...
|-----2-P-0----3----2-P-0--|-----2-P-0----3----2-P-0------------------|
| (Two Guitars) |
Alternating currents in a tidewater surge
|------------------------------------------------------A.H.-----------|
Rational resistance to an unwise urge
Anything can happen
Verses: (Guitars are Nashville-tuned w/4 bottom strings up 1 octave)
>From the point of conception
(Bm) (E) E:022100
To the moment of truth
At the point of surrender
to the burden of proof
w/Rhy.Fig.1 (3x)
>From the point of ignition
to the final drive
w/Rhy.Fig.1 (3x)
The point of the journey
is not to arrive
Anything can happen
Guitar Tacet until "Alternating Currents..."
I set the wheels in motion....
(C#m) (E5) (B) E5: x799xx
I set the clouds in motion
Turn up light and sound
Activate the window
and watch the world go 'round
Palm Mute: (2x) 1. 2.
Depress Tremolo bar before
striking note
Outro chords:
D/F# G E A D/F#: 20023x
