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
Cm7
down in her heart
E/B B G/D D
if it had fingers, it`d be tearing it apart

[Chorus] You be lookin` groovy

in a sixties movie
E/G A
maybe tell the press you died

Little legend baby
Bsus4 Am7b5 [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

[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 - )
