HW: lyrics/tabs

[Thomas Guy]

Hi Joe - thanks for the lyrics/chords!

Excellent stuff!

(Hate to criticise, but I reckon that you're playing a semi-tone higher!)
Drop 'em all by one fret and you'll find the playing a lot easier,
especially with the option of open chords etc.   Maybe your music source was
playing out of true concert-pitch!  That said - It is great to have the
info, as dropping by a semitone is pretty easy - thanks again!

Has any body noticed that Silver Machine was originally recorded in G  ( ie.
G, A, C, D) but after live '79 (I think) it was transposed to A, ( A, B, D,
E).  Probably when Dave started singing it, in a preferred pitch. It is
certainly in A, on the Reading '86 CD. I prefer the original pitch, as it
gives more options when playing bass on it

I'm in a band at work, but we do Silver Machine, and are working on PXR5
too! We've really crucified Silver Machine, as we play it as a straight rock
track, and our version evolves into the extended solo from Freebird, tacked
onto the end!  (gotta keep the punters happy ------AAAARRRRRGGGGHHHH!!

Guy

                 << File: HWsongs.wpd >> Doug, Michael, Denis, and Todd:

                Denis' D-Rider site is most excellent for lyrics.

                While not in tab form, I have a list of HW songs what I have
learned on my
                own, that I first "published" on Bob Lennon's 'Hawkind :Time
and Space'
                discussion list.

                Most of the songs are listed as chords only(not quite good
doing lead). Rthym
                isn't really listed either; I'm trusting all y'all Hawk fans
to already know
                it. Most of the versions are from the original, or at least
the studio
                versions of the songs. Take "Magnu" fer instance. Either the
version on Live
                Chronicles, or maybe the version on the Anthology
1967-1982(re-hash of Antholo
                gy/Acid Daze), is in a key a couple of steps higher than it
appeared on Warrio
                r on the Edge of Time.

                Hope this helps
