Band: Hum
Song: Iron Clad Lou
Album: Electra 2000

Transcribed by Jeremy Styron

Ok, this song starts with a bass, but to account for the
lack of me having a bass and I�m sure a lot of you likewise,
this intro is tabbed for guitar. The bass part that is
tabbed for bass is this thing...(5-8-5-2-0)...the other
parts are played on guitar.

(clean)
D |----------------------------------------|
A |--5-7-5-2-0---7-h-9-9-h-7-7-5-5---------|

now the bass starts playing the main line�

...while that goes on the guitar strums this along under
     the bass line...

	(hold this open chord
         out until the rocking part)

for all of riff 1 just ad lib and play around
with it, it sounds ad libbed on the album
the whole riff is repeated while that bass line
is played.

Now he's alive, while he sees he knows
He don't need a word from his f***ing tease
He just needs some space and a lot of trees
A place to sleep , place to breathe
Cruising out of third and strapped to the mountain side
Reaching for the sun, it tells him something's right
Got into my mind where I can feel you
The cat is in my head and I'm f***ing wide awake
Image in the sky tells me I'm not alive
Smashing suns, and you smashing out his brains
Got into my mind where I can feel you
The cat is in my head and I'm f***ing wide awake
I win, I win, I win
It sure gets lonely at the top
Sure feels weird if falling out
It sure gets lonely at the top
I win, I win
