Machine Gun by Jimi Hendrix
(Part 1)
transcribed by Maxxdaddy

A uni-vibe pedal is essential to attain the proper sound for this piece.
Flangers, phasers and the like sound nothing short of silly by comparison.

Of course, some of the more complex effects accomplished through feedback are only
approximated through tablature.

Setup: Fender Stratocaster->Vox Wah Wah->Octavia->Arbiter Fuzz Face->Uni-Vibe->Amp

Intro:
w/uni-vibe & fuzz

lyrics

Machine Gun tearing my body all apart
Machine Gun, yeah tearing my body all apart

Evil man make me kill ya
Evil man make you kill me
Evil man make me kill you
Even though we?re only families apart

Well I pick up my axe and fight like a farmer
(You know what I mean)
Hey! And your bullets keep knocking me down

Hey, I pick up my axe and fight like a farmer now
Yeah, but you still blast me down to the ground

The same way you shoot me down, baby
You?ll be going just the same
Three times the pain,
and your own self to blame
Hey, Machine Gun

I ain?t afraid of your mess no more, babe
I ain?t afraid no more
After a while, your, your cheap talk don?t even cause me pain,
so let your bullets fly like rain

?Cause I know all the time you?re wrong baby
And you?ll be going just the same
Yeah, Machine Gun
Tearing my family apart
Yeah, yeah, alright
Tearing my family apart

(Don?t you shoot him down)
(He?s ?bout to leave here)
(Don?t you shoot him down)
(He?s got to stay here)
(He ain?t going nowhere)
(He?s been shot down to the ground)
(Oh where he can?t survive, no, no)

Yeah, that?s what we don?t wanna hear anymore, alright?
(No bullets)
At least here, huh huh
(No guns, no bombs)
Huh huh
(No nothin?, just let?s all live and live)
(You know, instead of killin?)
