Velvet Revolver
Loving the Alien
i figured this out by listening to the record before it was released
Verses
Cmaj Am Em Gmaj 2x
Pre-Chorus
Fmaj Gmaj Fmaj Gmaj Fmaj Gmaj
this is played during the Pre-chorus on the Fmaj chord just before Gmaj
E|---------------------------||
B|---------------------------||
G|---------------------------||
D|---3-2-0-------------------||
A|---------3-2-0-------------||
E|---------------3-----------||
Chorus
Cmaj Em Fmaj Gmaj - 1st time
Cmaj Em Fmaj Cmaj Gmaj - 2nd time
during the chorus this is played, sounds best if it is finger picked
high e 15---13---15---12---15---13---12-13-15---
b ---------------------------------------13
Bridge (also played during the solo)
Dmaj Cmaj Bm? Dmaj
solo uses both Dmaj and Dmin scales
feel free to correct any mistakes, solo is very easy

| great mellow track... I hope this band stays together cause it could save rock... not yet, their first cd is only alright, but you can def see the potential.. hopefully they will put a stop to all that poppy rock thats on top now | |

| My view is that this song is about his heroin addiction. He's moving on from the heroin, finally getting his life on track. The aliens are probably Mary and hids kids, instead of just the rest of the world. I think this because of the title of the song (Loving the Alien) being a singular noun, and how lovely were the aliens being plural. Also, this part: Sometimes I make believe When we're alone Machines have taken hold Can you get me to a telephone I think is somehow related to the Matrix and him being high on the heroin... Machines taken over and telephones get them out of the pretend world. He wants out from his highs and living in a fake world. | |

| I thought the aliens were the things in life that are "fun" that aren't drugs. In other words, Scott is saying he's been messed up on drugs all this time and he's never really noticed the good things in life going on around him, and that those things are better than drugs. | |

| I never thought I'd say this about a Velvet Revolver song, but reminds me of the beginning of an old Beach Boys song called Good Vibrations. Play this song, followed by Good Vibrations, and you'll know what I mean. | |

| A Beautiful track, When I went and bought the cd I wasn't expecting to pop it in my cd player and have a track such as this on a velvet revolver cd. Still this song grew on me a lot and i'm really touched by it. I just would hope somebody could tell me what it's about because I honestly have no idea. | |
