The beginning I sense goes as C#m D A… What about the rest?

Well, I started this one with the best of intentions, setting out to TAB the whole thing, but I fizzled out after not too long! The end of Mike’s Song isn’t very complicated, but I couldn’t think of a way to express it easily and compactly, so I kind-of “punted” and described it to the best of my ability.

Intro riff: repeat through verse

C#m D A * S/ H-O E|----9-------------------|------------------| B|----9-------------------|10-------10—10~—| G|----9-------------------|11--------9-------| D|--------------------9-11|12-----9-11-------| A|--------9---9-10-11-----|------------------| E|9-9---------------------|------------------| ^Trey sometimes substitutes with a low E note on 12th fret

Alternate intro from Tim Bullock tbulloc1@ic3.ithaca.edu

C#m D A * H-O H-O E|----9-------------------|------------------| B|----9-------------------|------------------| G|----9-------------------|9-11-11-----------| D|--------------------9-11|0----0—9-11------| A|--------9---9-10-11-----|--------0-0-------| E|9-9---------------------|------------------|

[note: Words marked with an ”*” are sung at the same time as the “E-A” double stop in the intro riff]

• C#m D A Trapped in time and I don’t know what to do C#m * D A These friends of mine, I can see right through. C#m * D A You don’t gotta tell me and I don’t gotta move C#m * D A `Coz I’m sittin’ back here sharin’ the groove.

..walk through the hallways inside my mind I chase the backbeat from behind Big dude in the doorway was blockin’ my way He reached to grab me and this is what he said:

Me no are no nice guys (X 3)

Then go stacatto between these two chord formations , 4 times the first time, then 8, then 10:

E|-------| B|---9-7-| G|---9-7-| D|---9-7-| A|-------| E|-------|

Then back to the “me no are no nice guys” riff, then back to the stacatto chords, then switch over to the “trampoline jam” :

F#m7 —> B back and forth for a LONG time, then D E F#m7 a couple of times, back to F#m7 —> B then D E F#m7 twice, then the 12-tone chromatic walk down from F#-G to |F#m7 A E F# :| repeated 8 times, stopping on the E and letting it ring on the last time.

This usually leads into I Am Hydrogen
