  Revolution - Taken from 'This Gift' 12"

  

  This is Mudhoney's version of a Spacemen 3 song.

  

  In the UK it appears on the B side to 'This Gift', but im sure

  i've seen it on an Australian Import as well.

  

  Its very simple to play, with just two chords used for most of 

  the song.  The chords used are all power chords and are as 

  follows -

  

       E5     G5     A5    C#5    D5

        X      X      X     X      X

        X      X      X     X      X

        9     12     14    18      7       

        9     12     14    18      7

        7     10     12    16      5

        X      X      X     X      X

  

  

  / - slide up

   - slide down

  

  

  The intro is played using E5 G5 and A5

  

          E5          G5          A5          

  e|------X-X-X---/---X--X----/---X--X--X----

  B|------X-X-X---/---X--X----/---X--X--X----

  G|------9-9-9---/---12-12---/--14-14-14----  

  D|------9-9-9---/---12-12---/--14-14-14---- 

  A|------7-7-7---/---10-10---/--12-12-12----

  E|------X-X-X---/---X--X----/---X--X--X----

  

  Play the above sequence 3 times.  At the end of the first

  two times slide back to E5.  At the end of the third playing,

  slide up to C#5 and play the chord about 16 times.

  

  

  The rest of the song is made up by playing the following

  

          E5                   D5

  e|------X--X--X--X--X--X--X----X--/-

  B|------X--X--X--X--X--X--X----X--/-

  G|------9--9--9--9--9--9--9----7--/-  

  D|------9--9--9--9--9--9--9----7--/- 

  A|------7--7--7--7--7--7--7----5--/-

  E|------X--X--X--X--X--X--X----X--/-

  

  After playing the intro 3 times, slide down to D5 and strum the

  chord once.  Then slide to E5 and play the above sequence.  The

  sequence basically just involves playing E5 and then sliding to

  D5 and playing it once then sliding back up to E5.

  

  The lyrics are as follows,

  

  During the C#5 strumming - 'Alright look out'

  

  The rest of the lyrics are

  

  Im sick, so sick, of getting sick

  everytime i loose my direction

  Im tired, so tired, of getting up in the morning

  for that long uphill walk, to the ??????? <- not sure about that bit

  Theres got to be, an easier way

  Now hold on a second, its burning

  theres a change coming, in my blackened school

  I suggest too you, that it takes 5 seconds, just 5 seconds

  to put a morphine sepository, all, the way, inside

  Brothers and sisters, do you know what im talking about

  im talking about, a full on, motherfucking, REVOLTION !!!!

  

  The Spacemen 3 version has slightly different lyrics. 

  

  I hope that makes sense, to get a feel for the song its best to

  have a listen to the record.  

  

  General points - play with distortion on, after the lyric 

  'REVOLUTION' really let go!

  

  Enjoy
