HW: lyrics/tabs

[Thomas Guy]

Yeah, but the chorus on the original is  D, C   D,  C  etc etc!
Get your axe out, and strum along to the original, then try it with  the
Reading version!

                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

                 =====
                well, um, i always thot it was in A, meself....
                i mean, the 'chorus' doesnt go up another notch,
                [it's E-D, E-D etc]
                === isnt this why lemmy strains to hit those top notes?

                shoot, did HW ever 'transpose' anything?
                well, 'D-rider' mutated _a lot_, live, along the way,
                but....
