 * My Iron Lung EP
 * Guitar tab by Stewart Peters

Works best in Open G tuning: DBGDGD, from 1st (high) string to 6th (low)
string. All re-tuned strings are tuned down.  Although there is little
or no use of the 1st & 6th strings I would still recommend tuning them
down to  D.  Note that the time signature changes from 4/4 to 6/8. The
strumming pattern is real easy though.

That's all I could be bothered with. The rest is just open 4th and
5th strings while improvising over the top with a 3rd string melody/solo.

Tab Discussion, Comments, and Critiques


No Picture geoff Average	#1 by geoff at Jun 30, 1970 at 9:33 AM EST
	I love this song. Their shortest, eh? Just seems like a pissed off song about being stuck being stupid. Yes, Genius.

No Picture Trey Average	#2 by Trey smith at Jan 21, 1974 at 5:29 PM EST
	GENIUS.

No Picture Peter Wanna Be	#3 by Peter Lambden at Nov 12, 1983 at 3:28 AM EST
	Amen, Amen. Genius is right. This song sends chills down my spine just thinking of it. The easiest way to live is to believe that you don't exist, and that nothing you do matters. Also, it's the easiest way to decieve yourself. Basically, the people who think this way are seen by others living their life like they had their heads on backwards.

No Picture Troy Wanna Be	#4 by Troy Erskine at Apr 25, 1999 at 8:00 PM EST
	I remember reading that this song was intended as a tribute to Sonic Youth, which figures.

No Picture can Wanna Be	#5 by can sahin at May 30, 2001 at 4:41 AM EST
	i think the songs on my iron lung cd are underrated. this song is genius i agree. i think its about not being a victim of your own thoughts. don't try and think about existence and your life etc and you'll be able to sleep
