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

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--5h7p5--2s7h10p7----, and

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

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

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

Take it further, ride the tiger.
