TAB: "Machinehead" by Bush

This song may be in a tuning other than standard, but I don't think so. There really isn't anything in the song that can't be played elsewhere on The fretboard. Therefore, what I have tabbed here should be pretty damn Accurate. If nothing else, it sounds very much like what is on the CD.

There are several different parts that repeat a few times so I'll just Tab those out with a few tips and let you figure out where they should be. But there are also a few parts that occur during only one part of the Song so I'll try to be as specific as possible with those bits.

Intro and "Fill 1"

Fill 2

While you keep doing Fill 1 another guitar needs to start doing this: *-(drums in)

*-(stop Fill 1)

*-(begin Fill 2 on second guitar)

Then the vocals start with the "Breathe in, breathe out" stuff and you start That main riff over again. Then the lead bit over the first chorus ("Got a Machinehead, it's better than the rest" etc.) is like so:

|-4h5-5-5-4h5-5-5-| repeat and crescendo until "I walk from my machine..." etc.

I think that's it as far as tab goes. The main chord progressions for the verses and choruses are as follows:

Verse: C# and A Pre-chorus: ("I walk from my machine..." etc.) F# and A Chorus: ("Got a machinehead, it's better than the rest..") E B C# A

I think that's it. If I've missed something and you can't figure it out from What I have here, let me know (by email) and I'll get back to ya'.

Questions/comments/CONSTRUCTIVE criticism welcome (by email). Flames intelligently rebuked (if I feel like it). Good Luck! Paul D. ([email protected])

Okay this is a fairly simple song (like most songs of this album) But it sound really good

I tabbed out this song about three months or so but never posted it (I'm lazy) but when i got the version that was on the net i saw that Mine was much better :) so i decided to post it! (it's completer)

X x X x X x 7 11 7 11 5 9

Intro

(guitar 1) repeat a couple of times variation 1 D: ------------------------------|--play the above part --------------- A: ------------------------------|--three times before.........^------- : variation (listen for it) : : (guitar 2) repeat 2 or three times : ahjajahahja hajhajhahaahj (i think) :)

After you did that you just strum those same cords a couple of times It goes something like this (guitar 2)

Figure 1

these rakes may be a little of so you'll have to listen to the record for the exact timing (it's easy though)

okay you play this part 2 times the second time this riff gets played VARIATON 1(guitar 1) is played over it

Figure 2 Breath in breath out (2x) .. Breath in

Figure 3 Breath in breath out (2x) .. Breath in.......tied to a wheel

Okay from here it's just the C#5 A5 cord (Figure 1) for the verse Here's the lyrics

-tied to a wheel fingers got to feel -feeling to a tolocate smile -i spin on a whim i slide to the right -i felt you like electric light -for our love (riff 1 starts here and get's played three times) -for our fear -for our rise against the years and years and years

Okay some change here (guitar stops)

-Got a machinehead better than the rest } -green to red.... machinehead } this part gets played twice } the second time with this } the second time with this } guitar

B: --2h4-5-5-------| this gets played |-5^fb~~~~r-| G: ----------------| approx 7 times |-----------|

-got a machinehead it's better than the rest -green to red

Then something like this follows (listen to the record for exect timing)

Figure 4 and i walk my machine i walk my machine

Figure 1 + riff 1 twice + Variation once

Figure 2

Figure 1 with the following lyrics

-deaf dumb and thirty -starting to deserve this -leaning on my conscience wall -blood is like wine -i'm conscience all the time -if i had it all again -i'd change it all

Then the next part (2x)

Figure 5

-got a machine head it's better -than the rest meachine head -green to red machine head

Figure 4

- Mumbling riff 1 twice + Variation once

Figure 1 (inc text)

Figure 4 (inc text)

The the last part A: -4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4--/--7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7---slide back to 4-and repeat as many-- E: -2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2--/--5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5---slide back to 2-times as you like--- but for the last time you play it play -2 instead of -0 instead of -4 -2

After that he strums something in the E chord and thats it!

MACHINEHEAD By Bush Written by Gavin Rossedale for the album Sixteen Stone

This is a kick ass song. Here it is. Have fun!

Guitar 1

Opening riff (played 10 times):

Fill #1:

D |---X---X--X--X--X--X--X--X--X-------X--X--X--X--X--X--X--X--X------------|

Now the lyrics come in. The guitar starts playing when Gavin says "tied to A wheel..." Then you play fill #1 twice:

Then this:

D |---X---X--X--X--X--X--X--X--X-------X--X--X--X--X--X--X--X--X-------|

Then you start play when Gaving sings "Deaf dumb thirty". Then you play Fill #1 twice through.

Then there's a pause: The lyrics go

Got a machine head Better than the rest Green to read Machinehead

Then you play this twice Fill #2

Then the song goes "I walk for my machine" And you play this twice

Fill #3

Then the music fades and there's sort of a drum solo: In the Backround really softly, you can hear the opening riff played twice. Actually, they use a mixer a you probably don't have one. Then Gavin starts singing "Breath in, breath out..." You play Fill #1 once only. And once thechorus starts, you play this:

That lasts almost the rest of the song for guitar #1 but when Gavin Finishes singing "Yeah yeah yeah", guitar #2 playes this:

This is played until the end of the song until gaving starts singing "I walk for my machine........". Then you play this:

AND THAT'S THE SONG!

I saw BUSH on TV, and found out that the chords posted on here a while Back for the chorus are wrong. I figured out that the chorus goes like This... D|-9--5--7--5-| Guitar one plays this a few times...

Guitar Two plays...

G|------------------------| This is what guitar 2 plays, if it D|-6-6-XXX-3-3-XXX--------| doesn't sound right, try taking out the A|-6-6-XXX-3-3-XXX--------| hammer-ons... E|-4-4-XXX-1-1-XXX--------|
