START THE MACHINE (Acoustic Interpretation)
by Angels and Airwaves
Tabbed by: The Count of Monte Cristo
Tuning: Standard (Key of E)

INTRODUCTION: This interpretation of the 'tinker-toy/xylophone'
intro has kind of a classical feel.  It sounds best when plucked.
The intro is based around an E chord.

e|-------------------------------------|
B|-9-7-------------9-7-----------------|
G|-----9-8-9-----------9-8-9-----------|
D|-------------9---------------7-------|
A|-7---------------7-------------------|
E|-----------0---0-----------0---0-----|

The second part of the intro can be strummed, but the
root strings are focused on.  Listen to the song so 
you can consolidate the tab and the rhythm.


e|-0~~~-----0~~~----0~~~-0~~~--|
B|-0~~~-----0~~~----0~~~-0~~~--|
G|-9~~~-----9~~~----9~~~-9~~~--|
D|-9~~~9----9~~~9---9~~~-9~~~--|
A|-7~~~7-6--9~~~9-6-X~~~-X~~~--|
E|-0~~~-----X-------9~~~-7~~~--|
