____ PART ONE

   G                                          E5
          I don't really need to be the way I are
   G                                   E5
   I don't really need to always go so far
   C                 D              Dsus       G
   I could get by on being alive but having no life

   [Well, words for the following section were not printed
    in the booklet, and my english ear's lazy tonight
    so you might hear different stuff...]
                                                
   G              D         E5

           G        D        E5
   I DON'T WANT REGRET AND PAY
   C            D       
   I WANNA STOP NEXT TO THE FIRE)

   E5[2]            Em7 (or E[2] ?)
   Take it further, ride the tiger


____ PART TWO 

   G                                         E5
        I don't really need a fuel infected car
   G                                        E5

   C                 D              Dsus       G
   I could get by on being alive but having no life

   G              D         E5 
   (I DON'T WANT MISS THE TRAIN
           G        D        E5

   E5    G     E5    G  ...


_____ MAIN ELECTRIC SOLO is mainly played on thin e string :

e   -2s3--5--7h8p7--7--5--7---------------------, then

e   -2s3--5--7h8p7--7--5--7--5h7p5--3-----------

    However in part 2, and just before the thing becomes
    seriously noisy, this solo goes a slight different way :

e   -2s3--5--7h8p7--7--5--7---------------------, then

e   -2s3--5--7h8p7--7--5--7--5h7p5--2s7h10p7----, and

e   -7h10p7-7h10p7-11b12-11-10-9-7-6s7-6s7-5s3--, and 

e   -0h3-5-5b6b5-3p0h3-----3h5p3--3------------- 
B   -------------------0h3----------------------,


    then, before the real "plasma" noise, play chords :

    C   C--->D*  D*--->F*  F*--->G*

    G*--->A*  A*--->C*  C*--->A*   E*--->D*


_____ LAST PART (calm follows the storm we say in french)

    [over a jungle atmosphere, with tiger and birds...]
    Ride the tiger, ride the tiger, ride the tiger...


       C                          D (x9)   Dsus (x7)

e   ---0---0------------0---------2--------3-----------
B   ---1-----1------0h1---1-------3--------3-----------
G   ---0-------0------------0-----2--------2-----------
D   ---2---------2------------2---0--------0-----------
A   ---3-----------------------------------------------
E   ---0-----------------------------------------------, then


   G                                          E5
        You don't really know what it is you ask
   G                                         E5
   All that I want is to find some peace at last

   Take it further, ride the tiger.
