Taking one last shot at heaven while they slip stream through paradise Looking through this blue telescope down a moonstruck road tonight I'm looking through this blue telescope down a moonstruck road tonight I've got a blue telescope Blue telescope --------- Chords used: C-x3201x, Csus4-x3301, Csus2-x3001x, G-320033, G/B-x20033, Am-x02210, Em-022000 NB This becomes much easier to sing (for my voice anyway), if you play it in Bb - the riff thingy works in G too, so you can play it in G with a capo on the third fret. No I won't transpose all the chords for you, you lazy swine... Enjoy! --------- TAB Bridge: (Overdub guitar) + + + + + + + + |-------17----------15----|-------13----------12-13-12-------| |-----17----------17------|-----13----------15---------15-13-| |---17----------16--------|---14----------12-----------------| |-------------------------|----------------------------------| |-------------------------|----------------------------------| |-------------------------|----------------------------------| + + + + + + + + |-------17----------15----|-------13----------15-17-15-------| |-----17----------17------|-----13----------15---------17-15-| |---17----------16--------|---14----------16-----------------| |-------------------------|----------------------------------| |-------------------------|----------------------------------| |-------------------------|----------------------------------| + + + + + + + + |-------17----------15----|-------13----------12-13-12-------| |-----17----------17------|-----13----------15---------15-13-| |---17----------16--------|---14----------12-----------------| |-------------------------|----------------------------------| |-------------------------|----------------------------------| |-------------------------|----------------------------------| + + + + + + + + |-------17----------15----|-------15----------15----| |-----17----------17------|-----13----------13------| |---17----------16--------|---14----------14--------| |-------------------------|-------------------------| |-------------------------|-------------------------| |-------------------------|-------------------------| + + + + |-------15----17--17-15------------------| |-----15-------------------15-17-15------| |---16------------------------------16---| |----------------------------------------| |----------------------------------------| |----------------------------------------| Solo: - played WITHOUT a plectrum Let ring throughout + + + + + . + . + . + . -----|-----------------|----------------------------| -----|-----------------|-----8----------------------| -7h9-9b10~~~~9~~~~--\7-9b10~~~~9~~~~~---------------| -----|-----------------|-------------12h14p12p10-10-| -----|-----------------|----------------------------| -----|-----------------|----------------------------| + + + + + + + + |---------------------------------|---------------------------------| |---------8-----------8-----------|-8-------------------------------| |-----7h9---9p7---7h9---9p7---7h9-|---9p7---7-------------------7h9-| |---------------10----------10----|-------10----10------------------| |---------------------------------|---------------------------------| |---------------------------------|---------------------------------| + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + |---------|-------------|---------|---------------------------------| |---------|/10-8-6-6---6|-6--5----|---------------------------------| 9b10------|----9-7-5-/7-|-5--5----|--/9---9-------9-------9---------| |---------|-------------|---------|-----12----12------12------12-(10) |---------|-------------|---------|---------------------------------| |---------|-------------|---------|---------------------------------| + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + N.H. |------------|-------------|----------------------|-------------|-12-| |------------|----10-------|----------------------|-----------feedback |------------|/12----12----|---9h10/12--------9h10|-9-\7--------|----| |-12-------12|-------------|----------------------|-------10----|----| |-10---------|-------------|----------------------|-------------|----| |------------|-------------|----------------------|-------------|----| Notation used: + = beat marker . = 1/8th-note marker h = hammer-on p = pull-off / = slide b = bend ~ = vibrato N.H. = natural harmonic
