I find this riff a little easier to play than all the stretching in the
previous version:
Main riffs:
e ---5---0-------------------| B ----------6--------0-------| G -------------7--6----------| D -7---7---------------7-----| A ---------------------------| E ---------------------------| >e -------------------------3---1-0---| >B -0/1-1--0/1-1--1/3-3-3-3---3-------| >G -----------------------------------| >D -----------------------------------| >A -----------------------------------| >E -----------------------------------|
>A twelve string guitar plays, at "Run around in the radiation":
>e -0-1-----0--0-1-----0--0-1-----0--0-1-----0---| >B ---------------------------1----------1-------| >G -----2-2--------2-2----------2----------2-----| >D ----------------------------------------------| >A ----------------------------------------------| >E ----------------------------------------------|
>...and an Am Gm F pattern at "So still, so dark..."
>Listen where to play the respective part. Not that tricky.
>The chords are pretty easy, simply Am F in the intro, Am D in
>the verses, and Am F in the chorus.
>There are several guitars playing on the record. To play it on just
>one guitar, the following blend of the chords & riffs can be used
>(leave the notes ringing for as long as possible) :
>For the Am F pattern :
>e ---0---0----1---0----------| >B ------------1-------3-1-0--| >G -2---2---2--2-2---2--------| >D -2----------3--------------| >A -0-------------------------| >E ---------------------------|
>, and for the Am D one :
>e -------------------------------------------------------------| >B -0/1-1-1--1-1-1--0/1-1-1--1-1-1--1-3-3-3--3-3-3--3---1---0---| >G -2---2-2--2-2-2--2---2-2--2-2-2--2-2-2-2--2-2-2--3---1---0---| >D -2---2-2--2-2-2--2---2-2--2-2-2--2-0-0-0--0-0-0--2-2---2-----| >A -0---0-0--0-0-0--0---0-0--0-0-0--0---------------0-0---0-----| >E -------------------------------------------------------------|
>(The rhythm of this can look difficult to follow, however it will
>hopefully make sense when you listen to the song.)
>In the western sky, My kingdom come
>So still so dark all over Europe
>And I ride down the highway 101
>By the side of the ocean headed for sunset
>For the kingdom come

>Black, Black planet
>Black, Black world

>Run around in the radiation
>Run around in the acid rain
>On a
>Black, Black planet
>Black planet hanging over the highway
>Out of my mind's eye
>Out of the memory
>Black world out of my mind
>So still so dark all over Europe
>And the rainbow rises here
>In the western sky
>The kill to show for
>At the end of the great white pier

>Run around in the radiation
>Tune in turn on burn out in the acid rain on a..
>CHORUS
>(repeat to fade)

I happened to have FALAA on tonight, and got inspired to figure out
what he's *really* playing. Close to what I had, but not exactly.
(It's almost exactly what I'd had about two revisions ago... :) Here's
the Real Thing.
