  "hand of god" by soundgarden from the _fopp_ ep.

   

  intro                        verse   pt. 1   pt. 2          pt. 3

                                               *

   

  this part is all harmonics, play it through distortion and it'll

  sound great. just play it as if your hand wasn't strong enough to

  press down on the frets just right, you'll get very good artificial

  harmonics.

   

  the intro part is throughout the speech ("vanity of vanities..."

  verse pt 1 is played once or twice in the beginning of the verse, 

  verse pt 2 is played throughout most of the verse, with a B chord

  sometimes substituted for the A chord (the A chord is marked with a *).

  verse pt 3 is used at the end of the verse and during the solo, right

  before the solo, it's doubled and harmonized a fourth up (same fret, next 

  higher string)

   

  wailing guitar throughout the beginning:

  there's more, but that's all i really feel like sitting down 

  and figuring out.

   

   

  lyrics:

   

  [now i would like, friends, this evening, we should stand there   ]

  [with all other of gods creatures on the curtstone. and watch this]

  [march of time; let us take our stand with them. and as we        ]

  [stand there i hear one of them whispering "he is a hebrew slave,"]

  [he said. "vanity of vanities, the whole thing is a vain charade; ]

  [it has no meaning."                                              ]

   

  ooh the hand

  of god

  lays high

  above me 

  oh he's so good

  if you really

  loved me

  make me feel

  your mighty crunch

  as you run 

  me out

  like a wall defiled scepter

   [let it be known today that if you've got two hands you're supposed to pray]

  oooh the hand

  of god

  is stacked

  and callous

  bruised 

  from stones

  and sticks

  the hand

  of god

  has got 

  a ring about the size of texas

  maybe sleet

  steadied stones

  my fingers

  never smelled.

   [let it be turned to see if it fits  ]

   [--stolen--whoa, then,               ]

   [don't touch anything unholy with it!]

   

   [let it be known today that if you've got two hands you're supposed to pray]

  

  

  enjoy.

  "But I don't want to go among mad people," said Alice.

  "Oh you can't help that," replied the Cat. "We're all mad here."
