Hummer

	  		 
This song is a little tougher than the earlier three because it's a lot longer 
and a bit more complicated.  First, tune your low E string (6th string) down a 
whole step to a D.  The intro is a sitar-like line with some weird noise 
gate/static effect: 
 
Repeat 10x 
 
--2h3p2-------------2h3p2-----2-3-- 
--------4-3-1-3-3-3-------x-x------ 
----------------------------------- 
----------------------------------- 
----------------------------------- 
----------------------------------- 
 
 
Then play this fuzzed main riff: 
 
---------------------------------------------------------------- 
------------------------------------------------------------12-- 
--11-11b12b11---11-11b12b11---12--11b12b11---11-11b12b11----12--

Now play this distorted line: 
 
                                slow

guitar solo, very fuzzed out 
to play this solo completely correct, you're going to have to tranpose up 
an octave, and then slap some of that Octaver on there, but I thought it 
would just be easier if I transcribed it in the lower octave... go buy that 
effect, or an Octave Fuzz....

okay, after the solo is over, play these chords 4x:

--2--2-2--2-2-2---2-2---

then play this progression back into the main fuzzed riff from before:

Lyrics to Hummer: 
 
Faith lies in the ways of sin 
Chased the charmed but I don't want them anymore 
And in their eyes I was alive -- a fool's disguise 
Take me away from here 
 
Shame my tongue fat with promise all along 
When I woke up from that sleep 
I was happier than I'd ever been 
 
When you decide that your life is a prize 
Renew, revive, it's all right honey, it's all right, yeah 
 
Happines will make you wonder 
Will I feel ok 
It scared the disenchanted 
Far away 
 
Yeah, I want something new 
But what am I supposed to do 
I-I, I love you 
Yeah, I-I love you 
It's true 
 
Life's a bummer, when you're a hummer 
Life's a drag 
 
Ask yourself a question, anyone but me, I ain't free 
Ask yourself a question, anyone but me, I ain't free 
Do you feel 
Love is real?
