>OK kids, here's my tab for Psi Power as heard on "Stonehenge: This is
Hawkwind, Do Not Panic". This is very difficult to do without being able to
write out the notes. I'm not sure how to notate time values.... I guess I
can't, without notes. Anyway, here we go.
>
>I'm going to notate things by listing the string number, a comma, and the
fret number, so for example (2,5) means play the second string at the fifth
fret. If I've stacked several of these things together, it's a chord, for
example A major is (1,0)
> (2,2)
> (3,2)
> (4,2)
> (5,0)
>
>I'll put the name of the chord over the tab as well. Use your ears for the
rhythm, since I can't figure out any means of notating it without the use of
ordinary notes, so I guess this will just be a rough idea. OK...

>/E /D /C /C
> (3,9) (3,7) (3,5) (3,5)
> (4,9) (4,7) (4,5) (4,5)
> (5,7) (5,5) (5,3) (5,3)
>
>do the above twice as the intro (again, listen to the record for the rhythm)
>and then repeat as the main body of the song, except that on the second
measure of the C, do this instead:
>
>(4,5) (4,5)
>(5,3) (5,3) (5,2) (5,3) (5,3) (5,2) (5,3)

>And then the chorus part goes....

>/G /C /G /C /G /C /Dsus4 D /Dsus4 D /Dsus4 D
>(1,3) (1,0) (1,3) (1,2)
>(2,3) (2,1) (2,3) (2,3)
>(3,0) (3,0) (3,2) (3,2)
>(4,0) (4,2) (4,0) (4,0)
>----- (5,3)
>(6,3) -----

>And then...

>/E /E /A /A /C /C
>(1,0) (1,0) (1,0)
>(2,0) (2,2) (2,1)
>(3,1) (3,2) (3,0)
>(4,2) (4,2) (4,2)
>(5,2) (5,0) (5,3)
>(6,0)

>and then back to the verse part for the rhythm guitar while Huw plays a
lead. Listen to the song for order of parts etc. I don't recall myself
offhand, as I haven't played the song in a long time.
>
>then there's a modulation part that goes...
>/A# /C
>(3,3) (3,5)
>(4,3) (4,5)
>(5,1) (5,3)
>
>all the lead stuff is basically in E minor/G major if that's any help. If
I'm feeling ambitious sometime soon, I'll transcribe the leads also, but for
now I have to go study my calculus for tomorrow...
