In the corner of the morning in the past
A E E7 E
I would sit and blame the master first and last
G A
All the roads were straight and narrow
G A
And the prayers were small and yellow
G G# E E7 E
and the rumour spread that I was aging fast
A C#m F#m D
Then I ran across a monster who was sleeping by a tree
F F# A G E E7 E E7 E
And I looked and frowned and the monster was me
A E E7 E
Well I said hello and I said hello
A E E7 E
And I asked why not and I replied I don't know
G A G A
So we asked a simple blackbird who was happy as can be
G G# E E7 E
And he laughed insane and quipped Kahil Gibran
A C#m F#m D
So I cried for all the others till the day was nearly through
F F# A G E E7 E E7 E
For I realised that Gods a young man too

So I said so long and I waved bye bye
A E E7 E
And I smashed my soul and traded my mind
G A G A
Got layed by a young bordello I was vaguely half asleep
G G# E E7 E
For which my reputation swept back home in drag
A C#m F#m D
And the moral of this magic spell negotiate my hide

He swallowed his pride and puckered his lips
D C G
And showed me the leather belt round his hips
D C
my knees were shaking my cheeks aflame
G D
He said you'll never go down to the Gods again
C G
Turn around go back
G
He struck the ground a cavern appeared
A
And I smelt the burning pit of fear
G
We crashed a thousand yards below
D
I said do it again do it again
C G
Turn around go back

His nebulous body swayed above

His tongue swollen with devils love

The snake and I a venom high

INTRO: The feedback at the very start of the song is from the 7th fret of the
'A' string, and a very loud amp. I'm going to transcribe the lead guitar and the
acoustic. Here's the lead:
E----------------------
B----------------------
G----------------------
D----------------------
A-77-75455-54244-42022-
E----------------------
And here's the acoustic. These are just the notes. The changes are with the lead
guitar:

D----------------
A-11-979-757-545-
E-0--000-000-000-
FIRST SOLO: This is very hard to transcribe because it is so 'off-the-wall' and
quite definately improvised.

ALL THE MADMEN from The Man Who Sold The World
INTRO: See tab at end...
E5 E7sus4 E
Day after day they send my friends away
E7sus4 E F
To mansions cold and grey to the far side of town
Dm Em F E5
Where the thin men stalk the streets while the sane stay underground
E7sus4 E E7sus4 E
Day after day they tell me I can go they tell me I can blow
F Dm Em
To the far side of town where it's pointless to be high
F E
For it's such a long way down, so I tell them that
Dm F
I can fly I will scream I will break my arm
Dm E
I will do me harm
Dm F
Here I stand foot in hand talking to my wall
Dm E
I'm not quite right at all am I?
F G
Don't set me free I'm as heavy as can be
F E
Just my librium and me and my EST makes three
CHORUS 1:
A E
'Cause I'd rather stay here with all the madmen
F#m A C#
Than perish with the sad men roaming free
A E
And I'd rather play here with all the madmen
F#m A Bm E
For I'm quite content they're all as sane as me
SOLO: A F#m Bm G
SPOKEN: Where can the horizon lie when a nation hides its organic minds
In a cellar dark and grim they must be very dim
E E7sus4 E
Day after day they take some brain away
E7sus4 E F
Then turn my face around to the far side of town
Dm Em F E
And tell me that it's real then ask me how I feel
SOLO 2: E F Dm E
F
Here I stand foot in hand talking to my wall
Dm E
I'm not quite right at all
F G
Don't set me free I'm as helpless as can be
F E
My libido's split on me gimme some good ole lobotomy
CHORUS 2
A F#m
Zane zane zane ouvre le chien
Bm G
Zane zane zane ouvre le chien
A F#m
Zane zane zane ouvre le chien

THE SUPERMEN from The Man Who Sold The World
INTRO: F G F G F G F G
Ooh, ah Ooh, ah Ooh, ah Ooh, ah Ooh, ah
F
When all the world was very young
G
And mountain magic heavy hung
F
The supermen would walk in file
G
Guardians of a loveless isle
A G
And gloomy browed with super fear
C Esus4
Their tragic endless lives could heave nor sigh
E
In solemn perverse serenity
F G
Wonderous beings chained to life
CHORUS 1:
F G
Strange games they would play then
F G
No death for the perfect men
Ab Bb
Life rolls into one for them
Am F Ab C
So softly a super God cries
F G F G
Ooh, ah Ooh, ah
F
Where all were minds in uni-thought
G
Power weird by mystics taught
F
No pain no joy no power too great
G
Colossal strength to grasp a fate
A G
Where sad eyed mermen tossed in slumber
C Esus4
Nightmare dreams no mortal mind could hold
E
Man would tear his brothers flesh
F G
A chance to die to turn to mould
CHORUS 2:
F G
Far out in the red sky
F G
Far out from the sad eyes
Ab Bb
Strange mad celebration
Am F Ab C
So softly a super God cries
SOLO: D E D E D E F# G A B
