GREEN-TINTED SIXTIES MIND      ( Mr. Big )
=========================

Thanks to PANFI (my friend Federico, from Cadidavid-VERONA) for the CDs.
The tab was in the archive, I added the complete lyric and the chords.
Enjoy!


The introduction to this song is very tricky, the first impression you get
is that it's some kind of backward tape recording but no!!!, It's just 
Paul's guitar with distortion and some kind of octave or harmonizer effect 
(sounding one octave lower or higher) to achieve his unique soloing 
TONE!! Anyways, Paul uses mostly a pick/hammer/sliding/tapping technique
in which the use of both hands is probably the right choice to play the         
        
introduction. It's a very cool song, it should really impress anyone if 
it's performed live.

This should be ok for the first part of the song, if someone wants to post
the rest it's fine, e mail me at: oandrade@impsat.net.ec

 E    Esus4      D5        E5        E      Esus4   
   She just woke up, but she's still tired
               D5        E5      [Fig 2]
   is that the telephone ringing?
 E    Esus4      D5        E5        E      Esus4      
   The curtains can't hold back the light
                  Esus4/D   E/D
   That's reaching into her dreams
   C#m7
   down in her heart
  E/B        b               G/D          D
   if it had fingers, it'd be tearing it apart

          E
[Chorus]  You be lookin' groovy
         F#m
          in a sixties movie
         E/G#                      A
          maybe tell the press you died
         C#m7 
          Little legend baby
         Bsus4                 A#m7b5 [x12120]
          try your very best to hide
            A            b       E     [Fig 1]
          a green-tinted sixties mind
   
   She keeps some memories locked away
   but they are always escaping
   neglect won't make them fade away
   They're reaching into her dreams
   down in her heart
   don't need fingers to be tearing it apart

[Chorus]  Gotta face the day
          there is no other way
          to clear the fog inside your mind
          fill it up with dreams
          but all that she can seem to find
          a green-tinted sixties mind

[Solo]   |E   |E/C#  |E/D  |b   |B/A   |b/G#   |B/G    |F#   |     |
          4/4               5/8                         3/4   4/4

[Chorus]  Hangin' out with Janis
          movin' to Atlantis
          could've made it if you tried
          What's the point of force
          it's easy as a horse to ride
          green-tinted sixties mind

          You be lookin' groovy
          in a sixties movie
          maybe tell the press you died
          Little legend baby
          try your very best to hide
          a green-tinted sixties mind

[Outro]    ( - U can't hide - )
