^Bend up 1/2 step ^

I droppped the buzzard in the sand and trudged off slowly toward the town

I needed dinner and a place where I could throw my weight around

Repeat intro chords

Repeat riff

Then revelling in mirror mask, I soon was lost in foggy ditch

Without a feather grey or white to tickle that piano witch

Fearing that I must expose my worm to holographic haze

My clinometer error rose, and spawned in her new mawkish ways!

Piano solos over intro changes...

D# A# G# A#

I woke the witch with reverence reserved for serpents, snails and slugs

D# A# G# A#

I pulled the witch from out the ditch and turned to face the furry thugs

D# A# G# A#

The sheep they smiled with teeth agleem, the weapons in their hooves revolved

D# A# G# F

I detected a prostatic ream--I gulped and felt my loins dissolve!!!!!

intro changes (yet again)

F

AXILLA, AXILLA, AXILLA, AXILLA (yeah!)

(ad nauseum)

*****************************************************************************

key:

---8h10-------

hammer-on from 8th fret to 10th

----4^--------

bend at 4th fret

the A# in the intro should be played like this...

E----------------|
B-------6--------|  Index finger

G---------78^----| bend the 8th fret with ring finger, and use middle finger

D----------------| on 7th fret for easier bend (trick learned by slavishly

A----------------| listening to jimmy page, i should guess :-))

E----------------|

Alternate way to play the main riff:

 E|-------------------------------------------------------|
 B|-------------------------------------------------------|
 G|------6------------------------6-----------------------|
 D|--8-----8--6-8----6--------8-----8--6-8----------------|
 A|-8-------8-----8----------8-------8--------------------|
 E|6---6---------------8----6---6----------8--------------|

^Bend up 1/2 step ^Last verse:

I woke the witch with reverence

reserved for serpents, snails, and slugs,

I pulled the witch from out the ditch

and turned to face the furry thugs,

The sheep they smiled with teeth agleam,

The weapons in their hooves revolved

I detected a prostatic ream,

I gulped and felt my loins dissolve!
