Fields of sun giving flowers
Every soul gently moving about
Feilds of life giving sun
Marching straight and strong like soldiers of sun
This is the neverending story
Of life that moves on, day in and day out (etc.)

It just isn't the same without someone on a keyboard, but here
is how I play the guitar part for this song:
Iron Butterfly - In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida
There is the part everyone knows:
E-|---------------------------------------|
B-|---------------------------------------|
G-|-----------------------2--1--0---------|
D-|--0---0---3p2------0------------3------|
A-|---------------3-----------------------|
E-|---------------------------------------|
This is repeated over.. and over.. and over.......
For a little variety, sometimes change the last note
to a C (3rd fret, A string). Doesn't add much, but
even a little helps.
The little ascending part:
E-|-------------------------------------------------------|
B-|-------------------------------------------------------|
G-|-----------------1--2--1--2--3--2--1--2--1h2p1---------|
D-|--0--2--3--2--3--------------------------------3--2----|
A-|-------------------------------------------------------|
E-|-------------------------------------------------------|
E-|----------------------------------------------------|
B-|----------------------------------------------------|
G-|----------------------------------------------------|
D-|--5--5--5-4-3-2--2--2-3-4-5--5--5-4-3-2--2-3-4-5----|
A-|----------------------------------------------------|
E-|----------------------------------------------------|
E-|-------------------------------------------|
B-|-------------------------------------------|
G-|--6--6--6-5-4-3--3-3-4-5-6--6--6-5-4-3-----|
D-|-------------------------------------------|
A-|-------------------------------------------|
E-|-------------------------------------------|
E-|---------7--6h7p6---------------------|
B-|--7vvv-------------9--7---------------|
G-|--8vvv-------------------9b11vvvrb9---|
D-|--9vvv--------------------------------|
A-|--------------------------------------|
E-|--------------------------------------|
And then just go back into the main part that repeats about
a trillion times. Pretty simple song. Two more notes:
For a solo, go heavy on the wah and stay in the D minor pentatonic
scale (hey, it's overused but in this case, you can't go wrong
playing this over that main riff).
And then, periodically freak out through the rest of the song--
see what kind of noises you can get your guitar to produce.
Have Fun

Words by Doug Ingle
In my mind I see a mirage on the wall
What a fortune that lay, it's not there at all
So I guess I'll draw my mirage on the wall
So it can be here to see and enjoyed by all
My Mirage, I'll be drawing you soon
Then all of the beautiful people that come to our home
They'll be seeing you soon
My mirage, they'll be seeing you soon
Unconscious Power
