Cool Your Boots, by RIDE   -  From the album "Going Blank Again"
========================

-  This is one of my favorite songs off the CD.  To get a sound close to that
on the CD, switch to a humbucking pickup (if you are playing a stratocaster,
 between the middle and bridge pickups) and use moderate distortion:

Chord  Progression:     Fsus  Am  C  A#
===================
 Here is how I play these chords:

|------8-----------------8---------6-------------------------------------------
|------8---------8-------8---------7-------------------------------------------
|-----10---------9-------8---------8-------------------------------------------
|-----10--------10------10---------8-------------------------------------------
|------8---------0------10---------6-------------------------------------------
|------8-----------------8---------6-------------------------------------------


   "Across 50 states of mind, I didn't feel inclined..."
        Fsus               Am      C             A#


 - There is a bridge-type thing which follows this pattern:   Dm  C  Am  G

    Dm:  xx0231  or  x57765

 - A lead guitar arpeggiates the Fsus, Am, C and A# chords in the following
    pattern:
 |---------1--------1------------0----------------------0---------0------1----1
 |------1----1---------------1------1---------------1------1-----------3---3---
 |---2----------2--------2-------------2--------0-------------0------3-------3-
 |-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
 |-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
 |-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

   And that is really the whole song.
