Play Intro riff twice. (The bass part changes to some neat
        slap-pop thingy I can't figure out. Sorry!)

Same as interlude (intro w/ slap-pop bass), but 5 repeats, then play

Tab Discussion, Comments, and Critiques


No Picture brian Average	#1 by brian haun at Apr 22, 1975 at 3:49 AM EST
	One of my all time favorite LIVE songs........in fact, Mental Jewelry is an incredible CD.....so much imagery and depth wrapped in a great melody!

No Picture Master Shaïtan Wanna Be	#2 by Master Shaïtan at Apr 17, 1981 at 4:34 AM EST
	"Put your soul in the water And join me for a swim tonight" god, that makes me melt.

No Picture Niks Average	#3 by Niks at Apr 23, 1990 at 5:16 AM EST
	drool* this is my happy song. this is the very song that hooked me to Live.

No Picture Murders in the Average	#4 by Murders in the Rue Morgue at Jan 19, 1993 at 12:38 PM EST
	Pain is a constant part of life, and something you cannot avoid. Ever. No matter what you do, you will always hurt. It is an unavoidable truth. Even if you do manage to avoid pain for brief periods, you will always go back to it. Think of swimming. Can you swim forever? No, but you can't wait for the pain to just go away, you have to constantly work to move past it and to keep yourself pure and improving as a human.

No Picture Sir Stuff Professional	#5 by Sir Stuff at Dec 15, 2001 at 2:26 AM EST
	Basically I think the song is talking about how life is full of pains and hardships. As humans we live on the land or the riverside, and the riverside causes us these problems, and seeing how Live commonly use water as a metaphor for a place where they are free and not weighed down by anything, the song says " On land we're weighed down by gravity and emotions. In the water we are free. So join me for a swim tonight." Something like that I believe. Of course I also own a copy of V so my opinion may be completely construed.
