Feeling Gravitys Pull
=====================
{Okay, here is the opening lick - figure out the rhythm !}
#har denotes harmonics on that fret
(E) --------------------0--------------------------5har--
(B) -12-------12------0---0----------7har----------5har--
(G)----11-10----11-10----------------7har----------5har--
(D)----------------------------------7har----------5har--
(A)----------------------------------7har----------------
(E)-------------------------7-7777-7------7-7777-7-------
{play the riff but start with the stuff on the 7th fret of
the low E string}
I fell asleep at just about every paragraph
Read the scene where gravity is pulling me around
Peel back the mountains peel back the sky
Stomp gravity into the floor
It s a Man Ray kind of sky
I ll show you what I can do with it
Time and distance are out of place here
{this next part reminds me a lot of Driver 8 or a slow These Days}
{The riff is like this:
(B) ------0------0------0------0----
(G) ----0------0------0------0------
(D) --------------------------------
(A) -----------------------0--------
(E) -0------2-------3---------------
Step up, step up, step up the sky is opening
{of course, start the riff again}
With the lightest mind I felt gravity pull
Somewhere near the end it s sad
You can t do this I said I can
To shift sway rivers shift, oceans fall and mountains drift
It s a Man Ray kind of sky
I ll show you what I can do with it
Step up, step up, step up. The sky is opening.
With the lightest mind, I felt gravity pull...
...onto my eyelids. Holding my head straight-
This is the easiest task I ve ever had to do...
I fell asleep at just about every paragraph
Read the scene where gravity is pulling me around
Shift the swaying river s shift
Oceans fall and mountains drift
It s a Man Ray kind of sky
I ll show you what I can do with it
Time and distance are out of place here
This is the easiest task I ve ever had to do...
{The end follows these chords: }
Gravity pulls me down
Maps And Legends
================
{Intro}
Em D2 Em (A) --0-h-2-----
(E) --------3--3-0
Is he to be reached, he s not to be reached
Is he to be reached, he s not to be reached
Call the fool in company
On his own where he d rather be
/
Where he ought to be he sees what you can t see, can t you see that
{Same as intro}
Maybe he s caught in the legend
maybe he s caught in the mood
Maybe these maps and legends
Have been misunderstood
Down the way the roads divided
Name me the places you have seen
Those who know what I don t know
Have heard of the yellow red and green
{The break follows these chords}
The map that she s made him doesn t seem real
He just sees whatever he sees
Point to the legend point to the east
Point to the yellow red and green
Driver 8
========
The opening riff is :
1| | |
2| | 0 |
3| | 0 0 0 0 0 0 |
4| | 5 5 5 4 2 0 |
5| 2 0 2 3 | |
6| 0 0 2 3 | |
Finger: 1 2 1 1 2 2 2 2 1 1
I find a slide up to the 5th fret with the second finger, and a fast
slide back down from the 4th to the 2nd with the first finger, makes
the second part more fluid, so I gave my fingering here as well.
This riff is repeated for the intro, and the second half of it
replaces the D/F# on the second and/or fourth line of some of the the
verses.
The chorus riff is :
1| |
2| |
3| |
4| 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 |
5| 2 2 0 0 0 0 0 0 2 2 0 0 2 2 0 0 |
6| 0 2 3 2 0 2 3 3 |
(repeat as needed)
One set of verses that seems to work (I got several) is :
(Intro Riff)
The walls are built up, stone by stone
The fields divided, one by one
And the train conductor says, take a break, driver 8
Driver 8 take a break you ve been on this shift too long
And the train conductor says, take a break, driver 8
Driver 8 take a break, we can reach our destination
(Chorus Riff)
Still a ways away; but it s still a ways away...
I saw a treehouse on the outskirts of a farm
The power lines have floaters so the airplanes don t get snagged
Bells are ringing in the town again
The children look up, all they hear are sky blue bells ringing
(chorus)
Way to shield away the heat,
Way to put myself to sleep
Way to shield away the heat
A way to put myself, my children to sleep
(Intro riff)
Pilots did this song, in a plane like that one
She is selling faith on the hotel crusade
Locomotive 8, southern crescent hear those bells ring again
This field of wheat is looking thin.
And the train conductor says
Take a break driver 8, driver 8 take a break
We ve been on this shift too long
And the train conductor says, take a break, driver 8
Driver 8 take a break, we can reach our destination
(Chorus Riff)
Still a ways away; but it s still a ways away...
Driver 8

We can reach our destination, but we re still a ways away
{on that part, you can play the Em Em/F# Em/G Em chords, or you can
play this riff:
(D)------0-------0------0--------0--
(A) ---2-------2------2-------2-----
(E) -0-------2------3------2--------
Saw a treehouse on the outskirts of the farm
Power lines have floaters so the airplanes won t get snagged
Bells are ringing through the town again
Children look up all they hear is sky-blue bells ringing
Way to seal the hated heat
Way to put myself to sleep
Way to seal the hated heat

Way to put myself my children to sleep
Pilot did this song in a plane like that one
She is selling faith on a hotel crusade
Locomotive 8, Southern Crescent hear the bells ring again
This field of wheat is looking thin
And the train conductor says
Take a break driver 8, driver 8 take a break
We ve been on this shift too long
