"Astral Man" from Nektar's album _Down To Earth_
Written by Nektar, tabbed by Christopher C Heckman.
This is a personal interpretation of that song and is in no way are
connected
with the actual music, other than the fact that it may bear a striking
resemblence (at some future point) to the contents of these files.
Also, all songs are for private study alone; making money off of them
would violate various copyright laws.


The transcript is a bass transcript, witch outlines the chords as well.
(There
aren't any tricky guitar parts here.) The main bassline is in several
parts:

Part 1: (guitar tacet)
[(Am)] [(Dm)]

G:-------------- -------------- -------------- --------------
D:-------------- -------------- -------------- --------------
A:-------------- -------------- --5--3--2--0-- --5--3--2--0--
E:--5--3--2--0-- --5--3--2--0-- -------------- -------------- 

Part 2: (guitar plays
chords)
[Dm] [C] [Am] [Dm] [C] [Am] [Dm] [C] [Am] [Dm] [C] [Em] [Am]

G:----------- ----------- ----------- ----------- ---------------
D:----------- ----------- ----------- ----------- ---------------
A:--5--3--0-- --5--3--0-- --5--3--0-- --5--3----- ---------------
E:----------- ----------- ----------- --------0-- --2--3--5------ 

Part 3: (guitar arpeggiates the open chord-forms)
[Am] [Em]

G:--------------- ---------------
D:--------------- ---------------
A:--------------- ---------------
E:--(0)----3--2-- --0-----2--3--- 

For each verse, play Part 1 twice, Part 2, and Part 3.
And the parts go with the lyrics as follows:

Intro: Part 1 (2x) Part 2 (Up to Em)

Part 1 (He's) back in town, with the biggest show around,
Part 1 Strike up the band, it's time for Astral Man.

Part 2 To [Dm]know where [C]he'll be [Am]landing from his [Dm]tightrope [C]in the [Am]sky,

(Part 2) To [Dm]know if [C]he will [Am]make it, [Dm]close [C]your [Em]eyes, watch and [Am]learn,

Part 3 (Astral Man), ([Em]turning) in relation [Am]to the ground, ([Em]learning)

(Part 3) Please remember [Am]what you see (re[Em]turning) to get back [Am]down to
Earth.

Part 1 Astral Man, our race for his _____ands,
Part 1 Thrill's own band, his antics know no bounds.

Part 2 To [Dm]know what [C]he'll be [Am]doing on his [Dm]tightrope [C]in the [Am]sky,

(Part 2) He [Dm]thrills the [C]little [Am]children, [Dm]close [C]your [Em]eyes, watch and[Am]
learn ...

(Repeat the chorus, of course. The third verse skips the chorus, and
ends
directly on Am.)

Part 1 Astral Man, acknowledges the plans,
Part 1 People clap but they appreciate his _____ands.

Part 2 He [Dm]bows to[C]ward the [Am]people and [Dm]leaves the [C]ring be[Am]hind,

(Part 2) [Dm]Hoping [C]he has [Am]given [Dm]mon[C]ey's [Em]worth, down to [Am]Earth.
