GREEN-TINTED SIXTIES MIND ( Mr. Big )
=========================
Thanks to PANFI (my friend Federico, from Cadidavid-VERONA) for the CDs.
The tab was in the archive, I added the complete lyric and the chords.
Enjoy!
The introduction to this song is very tricky, the first impression you get
is that it's some kind of backward tape recording but no!!!, It's just
Paul's guitar with distortion and some kind of octave or harmonizer effect
(sounding one octave lower or higher) to achieve his unique soloing
TONE!! Anyways, Paul uses mostly a pick/hammer/sliding/tapping technique
in which the use of both hands is probably the right choice to play the
introduction. It's a very cool song, it should really impress anyone if
it's performed live.
This should be ok for the first part of the song, if someone wants to post
the rest it's fine, e mail me at: oandrade@impsat.net.ec

E Esus4 D5 E5 E Esus4
She just woke up, but she's still tired
D5 E5 [Fig 2]
is that the telephone ringing?
E Esus4 D5 E5 E Esus4
The curtains can't hold back the light
Esus4/D E/D
That's reaching into her dreams
C#m7
down in her heart
E/B B G/D D
if it had fingers, it'd be tearing it apart
E
[Chorus] You be lookin' groovy
F#m
in a sixties movie
E/G# A
maybe tell the press you died
C#m7
Little legend baby
Bsus4 A#m7b5 [x12120]
try your very best to hide
A B E [Fig 1]
a green-tinted sixties mind
She keeps some memories locked away
but they are always escaping
neglect won't make them fade away
They're reaching into her dreams
down in her heart
don't need fingers to be tearing it apart
[Chorus] Gotta face the day
there is no other way
to clear the fog inside your mind
fill it up with dreams
but all that she can seem to find
a green-tinted sixties mind
[Solo] |E |E/C# |E/D |B |B/A |B/G# |B/G |F# | |
4/4 5/8 3/4 4/4
[Chorus] Hangin' out with Janis
movin' to Atlantis
could've made it if you tried
What's the point of force
it's easy as a horse to ride
green-tinted sixties mind
You be lookin' groovy
in a sixties movie
maybe tell the press you died
Little legend baby
try your very best to hide
a green-tinted sixties mind
[Outro] ( - U can't hide - )
