1,000,000
=========


As far as "1,000,000" is concerned, I haven't really had time
to work out all the chords, but the main one which Buck plays
over the verses is, I think, something like this:

E--0-- E--0 It's some kind of mutant
B--0-- B--0 (4?) "open" B chord. Also, you
G--9-- or G--4 can remove the Barring finger
D--9-- D--4 alternately to get the bass
A--9-- A--2 note in there. Heavy on style
E--7-- E--2 of course.

I'm not sure of these because I'm going from memory and my
guitar is at home. Screw around with it and see what happens.





1,000,000
=========


{Riff}

"B" chord: "E" chord
(E) --- ---
(B) -4- ---
(G) -4- ---
(D) -4- -2-
(A) -2- -2-
(E) --- -0-

{Alternate between these two chords with feeling}

Secluded in a marker stone
Not only deadlier but smarter too smarter too

B/A A E/A A B/A A E/A A
{The top 3 notes of these chords is sufficient}

All along the chain secluded in the ruin

Secluded in a marker stone
Not only deadlier but smarter too smarter too

A Bm Esus4 E/Esus4
I could live a million years

All along all along all along the ruin
Secret in secret in secret in the river
Secluded in a marker stone
Not only deadlier but smarter too smarter too
