Then the pre-chorus which goes:

Do it all over again, and then the chorus:

Then there's the Interlude:

This is HELMET's great rock anthem. It's just two parts;
amazing how Page can make a cool 7-minute song w/ just 2 riffs.
Riff 1
D-3/5-3/5-6-6--3-|
A-3/5-3/5-6-6--3-|
D-3/5-3/5-6-6--3-|
When it comes to the pre-chorus, I usually just strum all
6 strings on the sixth fret. It sounds close enough.

The order is as follows:
Verse one(play once)
Bridge one(play twice)
Bridge two(play twice)

This song is faster than usual, so keep that
in mind reading this. There's alot of fast strumming here.
The first part of this is Page banging on this chord:
E---
B---
G-5-
D-5-
A-3-
D-3-
Then it's this:
D-0-0-0-0-3`0-0-0-3
A-0-0-0-0-3`0-0-0-3
D-0-0-0-0-3`0-0-0-3
Chorus:
Just strum the first chord and then this one:
E---
B---
G-7-
D-7-
A-5-
D-5-
During the guitar solo, there is no rythmn guitar
until this riff. Play the chorus riff with that
same chord shape ( just at the first fret ) after
the first two chords. The last part goes:
D-0-0-0-0-3--0-3--3-
A-0-0-0-0-3--0-3--3-
D-0-0-0-0-3--0-3--3-

This is a song Helmet covered off of the "SATURDAY MORNING'S GREATEST HITS"
album. It's not very complex, as most Helmet songs aren't. The only difficult part
is the guitar solo which really isnt that hard(solos are a pain in the ass to tab
out). I will tell you that the solo is in the key of B flat major(relative minor G).
Right now though here are all the riffs. To get the rhythmic affect for the bridge
riff, make sure where there a muted notes,you mute with your palm and right hand.
ENJOY!

Ok, here is some more Helmet tab. All timing is VERY approximated. Listen
to the song and follow along on the tab before you play it, because as
you know, proper rhythm and timing are everything with Helmet. Let's face
it--the music isn't that complicated. Guess that's why I'm able to
transcribe it. ;)
Anyway, crank the distortion and have fun.

Play INTRO, then VERSE RIFF A, then B, then repeat A and B and go to
CHORUS A. Play CHORUS A twice. Go back to VERSE RIFFS A and B, then
go to CHORUS B. Play CHORUS B four times. Go back to VERSE RIFFS A
and B. Play A and B twice. Go back to CHORUS B, play four times.
Play PART WITH NO WORDS (what should I have called it, anyway?).
Then play BRIDGE, and go to CHORUS B. Keep repeating CHORUS B
all the way thru the solo, which you can figure out yourself if you
really have the urge. Towards the end of the solo, play BRIDGE over
and over till end of song. Yay, you're done!

I don't make any attempt to show rhythm or timing here, that's too much
trouble. Just listen to the CD or tape or whatever and pick up the rhythm.
Helmet is a very tight band (they're great live), so pay close attention to
the rhythm if you want it to sound good. Also, play with your palm muting,
figure out what sounds best to you.
Oh yeah, don't forget to use dropped-D tuning. (Tune low E string to D.)

D-|-0--1--2--3--4--5--6--7--8---0-|
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Just ad lib the part with the arrows under it. Hit each chord once or twice,
then when you get to the last chord, the D5, hit it hard and just let it ring
out for 16 beats. Try to get it to feedback right at the end before the main
riff starts.

Play the main riff four times, then just play the open D5 in rhythm. Use this
rhythm wherever the tab says 0.... Listen to the song and play along.
Palm mute this part and remember to TOTALLY mute the strings when the band
does to get that serious Helmet rhythm effect.

This little Interlude is played in the middle of verse one (the verses are
at the bottom of this tab). Then play the Transition and go back to the
Main Riff. Play the Main Riff four times, then go back to the D5 verse
rhythm.

IMPORTANT: This Transition is NOT THE SAME as the other one was. There's two
extra beats thrown in. The chords here may not be exactly the same as the
song, but it has the right amount of beats. Feel free to experiment with the
last four chords. You could replace them with any of the Assorted Possible
Endings below in the Pre-End Riff. Play Main Riff four times, and the last
two lines of Verse Two are sung somewhere in here.

you like. I think they're playing the first or second one, but I played with
them all, and they all sound good.

Play End Riff four times, then go back to Pre-End Riff. (Yeah, I know I've
got it all mixed up, but who cares?) Play the Pre-End Riff twelve times, or
as many as you want, then play the A5 End Chord and hold it till you're ready
to finally finish the song.

14..................
I have used numbers to represent the lyrics. I know it will be a little confusing, but
it's the best I could do in text format. The dots next to the numbers show the length of
each phrase.
Here's what the numbers stand for:
Verse 1:
1. Earth Tones Suit You
2. So Give it a Smile
3. If I Could Hold Your Feet Down
4. Get to Know for a While
5. To Make Due is a Promise
6. Hard to Keep Without Help
7. Never Taught to Look In
8. I'm Too Concerned With My HEALTH(scream)
Verse 2:
9. Help Me Spread Right, Ash Is
10. Cow Fertilized
11. Come Down in a Feed Town
12. Strength to Minimize
End:
13. In the Meantime
14. The Meantime
Guitar Key:
/ sl. = slide
hmr. = hammer on
b. = bend
/(5) = Slide, but do not strike the notes in parenthesis.
In other words, when the tab reads: 9/(5)
9/(5)
9/(5)
slide from 9 to 5, but don't strike 5
9 5 5
9 5 5
Again, sorry if this is a little confusing. If you know how the song goes, you shouldn't
have too much trouble.
This one was also sent to me in Word Document format.

Ironhead
by Page Hamilton
Transcription with no guarantees by Nate, v119p7jc@ubvms.cc.buffalo.edu
This song is played in an odd 4/4 time signature. If you do not fol-
low the timing properly, you are apt to end up playing something with a swing
time.
In the song 'Ironhead,' Page Hamilton uses the dropped-D tuning, fam-
iliar to those of you who are into the Seattlites. He uses heavy distortion.
This is not a typical metal song with a lot of crunching and heavy muting.
Page uses a muting that creates various artificial harmonics while he mutes the
strings just above the back pick-up...

and back to riff A and and Riff B to close.
This is a fairly close transcription. I've heard several performances of this
song. Its seems that they are somewhat different each time, so whatever you do
will probably almost correct as long as you play the right notes and stick with
the quirky tempo.

the first time it will go to

then it's back to Main Verse.
Then when you come back, you get to the Interlude:

When he says "IRONHEAD!!!!!!!!"
go back to the pre-chourus, and it's pretty much done.
That was fun, now wasn't it?

Dropped D-tuning
I noticed the TAB for Milquetoast and I commend Bard Iversen for his work on the TAB.
What I am writing is not meant to spite the TAB on the page. I just noticed a few things
that may help those Helmet saavy people like myself who take playing Helmet to a
technical level. (I am currently 18 years of age and have played guitar in a Helmet
cover band for over 4 YEARS!!!)
I hope this helps:
INTRO: The intro is fine
