* Eons from the Soundsystem album is actually played on a 7 string guitar.
Play all the the fifth chords in the first chorus on the low B string.
Gavin De La Garde (raz@fast.net.au)

Since most people don't have a 7-string guitar, this is tabbed out for a
standard 6-string guitar.

Lyrics/Song Structure:
======================
---> Play Intro/Verse (x1)
---> Play Intro/Verse over:
You got a wishing well within
That's ready to begin
See how we roll
See how we roll
I'm trying to compromise
Because with me there are no lies
See how we run
It's already begun
Now that I'm back to a pushing pin
That weighs two hundred tons
I'd like to drop it on you
And watch it all fall through
---> Play Fill 1 (x1)
---> Play Chorus A over:
Nobody knows just what
You're battling inside
You can't hide
Nobody knows just why
Most everyone will lie
If they need to
---> Play Intro/Verse over:
The ones who aggravate you most
And happen to be ever close
Seem to be the ones lurching
For the same things that you are searching
The ones that make you feel ill
And you think that nature should have killed
Those you curse when you're alone
Seem to be so close to home
---> Play Fill 1 (x1)
---> Play Chorus B over:
Not an even field to be on
Feels like standing still for eons and eons
Stare it dead in the eye, what now?
All we can due is try to shut it down
Shut it down
Not an even field to be on
Feels like standing still for eons and eons
Stare it dead in the eye, what now?
All we can do is try to shut it down
