____ PART ONE

I don't really need to be the way I are

I don't really need to always go so far

I could get by on being alive but having no life

[Well, words for the following section were not printed

in the booklet, and my english ear's lazy tonight

so you might hear different stuff...]

(I DON'T WANT MISS THE TRAIN

I DON'T WANT REGRET AND PAY

I WANNA STOP NEXT TO THE FIRE)

E5[2] Em7 (or E[2] ?)

Take it further, ride the tiger

____ PART TWO

I don't really need a fuel infected car

I don't really want to be some kind of star

I could get by on being alive but having no life

(I DON'T WANT MISS THE TRAIN

I DON'T WANT REGRET AND PAY

I WANNA STOP NEXT TO THE FIRE)

E5[2] Em7 E5[2] Em7

Take it further, ride the tiger

E5 G E5 G ...

_____ MAIN ELECTRIC SOLO is mainly played on thin e string :

e -2s3--5--7h8p7--7--5--7---------------------, then

e -2s3--5--7h8p7--7--5--7--5h7p5--3-----------

However in part 2, and just before the thing becomes

seriously noisy, this solo goes a slight different way :

e -2s3--5--7h8p7--7--5--7---------------------, then

e -2s3--5--7h8p7--7--5--7--5h7p5--2s7h10p7----, and

e -7h10p7-7h10p7-11b12-11-10-9-7-6s7-6s7-5s3--, and

e -0h3-5-5b6b5-3p0h3-----3h5p3--3-------------

B -------------------0h3----------------------,

then, before the real "plasma" noise, play chords :

C C--->D* D*--->F* F*--->G*

G*--->A* A*--->C* C*--->A* E*--->D*

_____ LAST PART (calm follows the storm we say in french)

[over a jungle atmosphere, with tiger and birds...]

Ride the tiger, ride the tiger, ride the tiger...

C D (x9) Dsus (x7)

e ---0---0------------0---------2--------3-----------

B ---1-----1------0h1---1-------3--------3-----------

G ---0-------0------------0-----2--------2-----------

D ---2---------2------------2---0--------0-----------

A ---3-----------------------------------------------

E ---0-----------------------------------------------, then

You don't really know what it is you ask

All that I want is to find some peace at last

Take it further, ride the tiger.
