Subject: STP's "Naked Sunday"...

Alright, "Naked Sunday" by STP contains (get this!) only 3 DIFFERENT CHORDS!

Aflat, C, and C7. Each chord is played for four beats each and the

progression just repeats. The following is the progression after the drum

fade-in:

(with WAH)

The rest you can just ad-lib or listen to the song 'till you get the rhythm.

But honestly, there's only the 4 chords. Change your rhythm to 16th-notes

for the chorus ("Been waitin' for awhile to meet you...", etc.).

The solo is just noise basically, if you're much of a lead player you'd

probably ad-lib that too (it'll probably sound better than the orig.)

Here's the lyrics:

You're the fuel to the fire,

You're the weapons of war,

You're the irony of justice,

And the father of law.

CHORUS:

I've been waitin' for awhile to meet you

For the chance to shake your hand

To give you thanks for all the suffering you command.

And when all is over

And we return to dust

Who will be my judge and which one do I trust?

You're the champion of sorrow,

You're the love and the pain,

You're the fighter of evil,

Yet you're one and the same.

(chorus)

SPOKEN:

An eye for an eye

And a tooth for a tooth,

Turn the other cheek aside.

We are all God's children, the giver of life,

But only we will survive!

Good luck...
