[G] I don't really need to be the way I [E5]are
[G]I don't really need to always go so [E5]far
[C]I could get by on [D]being alive but[Dsus] having no [G]life

so you might hear different stuff...]

[G](I DON'T WANT M[D]ISS THE TR[E5]AIN
I DON'T [G]WANT REGR[D]ET AND PA[E5]Y
[C]I WANNA STOP [D]NEXT TO THE FIRE)

_____ MAIN ELECTRIC SOLO is mainly played on thin e string :

e -2s3--5--7h8p7--7--5--7---------------------, then
e -2s3--5--7h8p7--7--5--7--5h7p5--3-----------

However in part 2, and just before the thing becomes
seriously noisy, this solo goes a slight different way :

e -2s3--5--7h8p7--7--5--7---------------------, then
e -2s3--5--7h8p7--7--5--7--5h7p5--2s7h10p7----, and
e -7h10p7-7h10p7-11b12-11-10-9-7-6s7-6s7-5s3--, and
e -0h3-5-5b6b5-3p0h3-----3h5p3--3-------------
B -------------------0h3----------------------,

then, before the real "plasma" noise, play chords :

C C--->D D--->F F--->G
G--->A A--->C C--->A E--->D

_____ LAST PART (calm follows the storm we say in french)

[over a jungle atmosphere, with tiger and birds...]
Ride the tiger, ride the tiger, ride the tiger...

C D (x9) Dsus (x7)

e ---0---0------------0---------2--------3-----------
B ---1-----1------0h1---1-------3--------3-----------
G ---0-------0------------0-----2--------2-----------
D ---2---------2------------2---0--------0-----------
A ---3-----------------------------------------------
E ---0-----------------------------------------------, then

[G] You don't really know what it is you a[E5]sk
[G]All that I want is to find some peace at l[E5]ast

Take it further, ride the tiger.
