Repeat intro chords
Repeat riff
Then revelling in mirror mask, I soon was lost in foggy ditch
Without a feather grey or white to tickle that piano witch
Fearing that I must expose my worm to holographic haze
My clinometer error rose, and spawned in her new mawkish ways!
Piano solos over intro changes...
D# A# G# A#
I woke the witch with reverence reserved for serpents, snails and slugs
D# A# G# A#
I pulled the witch from out the ditch and turned to face the furry thugs
D# A# G# A#
The sheep they smiled with teeth agleem, the weapons in their hooves revolved
D# A# G# F
I detected a prostatic ream--I gulped and felt my loins dissolve!!!!!
intro changes (yet again)
F
AXILLA, AXILLA, AXILLA, AXILLA (yeah!)
(ad nauseum)
*****************************************************************************
key:
---8h10-------
hammer-on from 8th fret to 10th
----4^--------
bend at 4th fret
the A# in the intro should be played like this...
E----------------|
B-------6--------| Index finger
G---------78^----| bend the 8th fret with ring finger, and use middle finger
D----------------| on 7th fret for easier bend (trick learned by slavishly
A----------------| listening to jimmy page, i should guess :-))
E----------------|
Alternate way to play the main riff:
E|-------------------------------------------------------|
B|-------------------------------------------------------|
G|------6------------------------6-----------------------|
D|--8-----8--6-8----6--------8-----8--6-8----------------|
A|-8-------8-----8----------8-------8--------------------|
E|6---6---------------8----6---6----------8--------------|
^Bend up 1/2 step ^Last verse:
I woke the witch with reverence
reserved for serpents, snails, and slugs,
I pulled the witch from out the ditch
and turned to face the furry thugs,
The sheep they smiled with teeth agleam,
The weapons in their hooves revolved
I detected a prostatic ream,
I gulped and felt my loins dissolve!
