Wild Machines Lyrics

Wild Machines ? Sleepy Sun
Email: erik.nmgn@gmail.com
INTRO ELECTRIC I (Use lots of compression, a (muff) fuzz pedal and a wah! Oh, and the
first note for the first guitar uses a tremolo-pedal. Yeah, why not. Second guitar just
hits the Em-chord: x79987)
INTRO ACOUSTIC (Guitar 1 (left channel on album playback) just strumming the chords,
guitar 2 (right channel) is interesting!)
INTRO ELECTRIC II
VERSE I (Guitar 1, chords)
Leave it in the mind, where the wolves are running wild
And the heavy rain never ceases to fall
Heal this honest man before the night goes with the wind
And the tide recedes exposing all his faults
(Guitar 2, playing something very similar to the acoustic intro)
First and third line (Leave it... & Heal this...)
Second and fourth line (And the heavy... & And the tide...)
TO CHORUS I
Am(x02210) Am/G(302210) Am/F#(202210)
With or without the sun we'll grow
|D|-----5-----5----(7h9-9)-|
|A|--5h7-7-5h7-7-7--|
Rise above winter's deep hole
|D|-----5-----5----(7h9-9)-|
|A|--5h7-7-5h7-7-7--|
|D|-----5-----5-7-7b8r7p5--|
|A|--5h7-7-5h7------------7|
|A|--5h7-7----------------7|
FREAKOUT
Em(x79987) x(all muted) x x Em x x x Em x x x Em
We all need a reason
Why we hold our breaths
Fill our dreams with sunny skies, so we'll rise again
Breathe in the humid air, exhale the black smoke
INTERLUDE/SOLO
VERSE II (Same as VERSE I, guitar 2 lines not displayed for clarity)
Lift that heavy heart high above all the hungry dogs
And the thunderous veins that run away with it all
Feel it in your bones as the wolves surround our homes
And the violent storm makes its way to the coast
TO CHORUS II (Same as TO CHORUS I, guitar lines not displayed for clarity)
Am(x02210) Am/G(302210) Am/F#(202210)
With or without the sun we'll grow
Rise above winter's deep hole
FREAKOUT (This part is just weird, okay, and it's time to get compression on again, as
well as the fuzz. It's probably best to get a buddy on the drums to help you. No, I don't
have one either)
Part 1 (rpt. 6) Part 2 Part 3(rpt. 7)
Part 4
Em D (bend-release to 15, not 14!) Am
CHORUS III (Acoustic ending)
We all need a reason
Why we hold our breaths
Fill our dreams with sunny skies, so we'll rise again
Breathe in the humid air, exhale the black smoke
We all need a reason
Why we take the time, to wonder
