TAB: "Machinehead" by Bush


There are several different parts that repeat a few times so I'll just
tab those out with a few tips and let you figure out where they should be.
But there are also a few parts that occur during only one part of the
song so I'll try to be as specific as possible with those bits.

Intro and "Fill 1"

Fill 2

While you keep doing Fill 1, guitar 2 plays this...

Then the vocals start with the "Breathe in, breathe out" stuff and you start
that main riff over again. Then the lead bit over the first chorus ("Got a
machinehead, it's better than the rest" etc.) is like so:

|-----------------|
|-4h5-5-5-4h5-5-5-| repeat and up the volume slowly
|-----------------| until "I walk from my machine..." etc.
|-----------------|

Well, that is the main tab. As for the chords, i don't know those just yet.
Enjoy!
