Tweeter and the Monkeyman by the Headstones excellent song written by the travelling willburys, but done much better by the headstones. i had the pleasure of seeing them live and this song, all i can say is that it kicked serious ass. canuck rock rules, plain and simple. (and our beer is better too) verses: starts off clean, full chords E--D--A--E add distortion E--D--A--E chorus: when the walls came down...xx-xx-x xx-xx-x 99-77-x all the way to hell... 99-77-2 77-55-2 00-00-0 never saw (A) them when they stand, never saw (E) them when they fell... (each chorus is a little different, figure them out exactly yourself) bridge: E -x- tip: the later verses sound better if you use barre chords -x- as opposed to open. -x- -2- -2- -0- jonathan ====

Unsound-Headstones This song rocks and I love when a great canadian band has an awesome song. I don't play bass but I got my guitar teacher to show me the bassline and the guitar comes right off that. This is from memory (I don't have the CD with me) Intro: (Bass) A G D A |--6-6-6|---4*4--4-|--7-7-7|---2p0h2--| |-----7-|--5----5--|-----7-|--2-------| |-------|----------|5------|0---------| |5------|3---------|-------|----------| A G D A |--6-6-6|---4*4--4-|--7-7-7|---2*2----| |-----7-|--5----5--|-----7-|--2-------| |-------|----------|5------|0---------| |5------|3---------|-------|----------| * means a quick rest If this seems too complicated, it really isn't. It's made from these four chords: A (5X76) G (3X54) D5 (X577) A5 (X022) The guitar part is simple. All it is is the same four chords: A (5776XX) G (3554XX) D5 (X577XX) A5 (X022XX) Send corrections to r_rhoads@hotmail.com Transcribed By Denis Hammersteadt and Neil Fitzpatrick(well a little bit) Neil Fitzpatrick If anyone knows Untitled by Collective Soul please mail me or at least post it.
