I Am Hydrogen

This song is usually preceded by Mike’s Song

We’ve heard it all before: Listen to a recording for timing info. Figuring out the notes they play is tough enough — no point figuring out something you can get the gist of if you listen to a recording.

I don’t play Bass, but the Bass line is as such on a guitar: |: :| G------------------------------------------------------------------------- D------------------------------------------------------------------------- A—12---12------------11----11-------------------------------------------- E-----9----9—(7)—12----12----(12)---------------------------------------

A kind of nicer way to play the chords leading up to it (or the chords in the background, if you’re playing with another guitar) that I’ve found is as such:

E A
E—0---0---- B—0---0---- G—4---6---- D—6---7---- A—7---4---- E—0---0----

Again, I don’t think Trey uses those chords at all. But they sure sound nice. The chords use the notes in the bassline.
