  Band: Hum

  Song: Iron Clad Lou

  Album: Electra 2000

  

  Transcribed by Jeremy Styron 

  

  Ok, this song starts with a bass, but to account for the 

  lack of me having a bass and I’m sure a lot of you likewise, 

  this intro is tabbed for guitar. The bass part that is 

  tabbed for bass is this thing...(5-8-5-2-0)...the other 

  parts are played on guitar.

  

  (clean)

  D |----------------------------------------|

  A |--5-7-5-2-0---7-h-9-9-h-7-7-5-5---------|

  

  D |----------------------------------------|

  A |-(-5-7-5-2-0-)—7-h-9-9-h-7-7-9-9--------|

    ||==you can hit this bass note open if===||

   ||====very strummy, get quieter and quieter========||

  

  now the bass starts playing the main line…

  A |---7-h-9-9-h-7-5-5-----------------------|

  

  ...while that goes on the guitar strums this along under

       the bass line...

      {riff 1}

  G |--4--4-------------------|

  D |--4--4--0-0-0------------|

  A |--------0-0-0---hold out-|

  D |--------0-0-0------------|

  	(hold this open chord 

           out until the rocking part)

  

  for all of riff 1 just ad lib and play around 

  with it, it sounds ad libbed on the album

  the whole riff is repeated while that bass line

  is played.

  Now he's alive, while he sees he knows 

  He don't need a word from his f***ing tease 

  He just needs some space and a lot of trees 

  A place to sleep , place to breathe 

  Cruising out of third and strapped to the mountain side 

  Reaching for the sun, it tells him something's right 

  Got into my mind where I can feel you 

  The cat is in my head and I'm f***ing wide awake 

  Image in the sky tells me I'm not alive 

  Smashing suns, and you smashing out his brains 

  Got into my mind where I can feel you 

  The cat is in my head and I'm f***ing wide awake 

  I win, I win, I win 

  It sure gets lonely at the top 

  Sure feels weird if falling out 

  It sure gets lonely at the top 

  I win, I win
