_____ MAIN ELECTRIC SOLO is mainly played on thin e string :

e -2s3--5--7h8p7--7--5--7---------------------, then

e -2s3--5--7h8p7--7--5--7--5h7p5--3-----------

However in part 2, and just before the thing becomes
seriously noisy, this solo goes a slight different way :

e -2s3--5--7h8p7--7--5--7---------------------, then

e -2s3--5--7h8p7--7--5--7--5h7p5--2s7h10p7----, and

e -7h10p7-7h10p7-11b12-11-10-9-7-6s7-6s7-5s3--, and

e -0h3-5-5b6b5-3p0h3-----3h5p3--3-------------
B -------------------0h3----------------------,


then, before the real "plasma" noise, play chords :

C C--->D* D*--->F* F*--->G*

G*--->A* A*--->C* C*--->A* E*--->D*


_____ LAST PART (calm follows the storm we say in french)

[over a jungle atmosphere, with tiger and birds...]
Ride the tiger, ride the tiger, ride the tiger...


C D (x9) Dsus (x7)

e ---0---0------------0---------2--------3-----------
B ---1-----1------0h1---1-------3--------3-----------
G ---0-------0------------0-----2--------2-----------
D ---2---------2------------2---0--------0-----------
A ---3-----------------------------------------------
E ---0-----------------------------------------------, then


G E5
You don't really know what it is you ask
G E5
All that I want is to find some peace at last

Take it further, ride the tiger.
