Steam Engine

[cmccubbin25]

is there a steam engine tab in the old thread?

i was too lazy to look...

[tomEisenbraun]

yes, i do believe it's in there.

and I don't mean to be a dick about this, but when you're lookin for songs, post it in the Tab Request thread.

[aMillionDreams]

D     Am     C

      G
at least not to me
D     Am
so, I do believe
       C
that anywhere it goes
      G
t's always with me
   Bm    
it's not the dream
     G
that makes you weak
   Em    A    x02220, x02230,x02250
it's not the night that makes you sleep
      Bm      G      
but it's a voice. and it's a choice
  Em    A   x02220, x02230, x02250
to call you out. or stay at home
 
solo: Bm G Em A
D     Am
so! I do believe
      C

at least not to me
D    Am
so I do believe
       C
that anywhere it goes
       G
it's always with me
   Bm   G
it's not the beast. it's not the sheets
  Em   A
so soft and warm. all over me
   Bm       G
but it's the touch. you need so much
     Em       A    x02220, x02230, x02250
to move around on this green earth

take your money and your drugsssssssssssss
     Gmaj7  A
take your money and your drugsssssssssssss
Gmaj7    A
  to anyone who wondered
Gmaj7       A
  what old jebus meant to me
Gmaj7   A
  take him out to go diving
Gmaj7   A
  in red patoka sea
Gmaj7        A
  the brain melts in the twilight
Gmaj7    A
  with the boar and moving trees
Gmaj7      A
  your skin looks good in moonlight
Gmaj7    A
  and god damn those shaky knees
Gmaj7    A  
  the fact that my heart's beating
Gmaj7    A
  is all the proof you need
 
Gmaj7: 3x0032
 
That's about it.  Hopefully it's fairly accurate. Tell me what you think of it.  Thanks.

yes, i do believe it's in there.

and I don't mean to be a dick about this, but when you're lookin for songs, post it in the Tab Request thread.

i have tried doing that...but the responses are better when posted by itself!

thanks aMillionDreams!!!

[cmccubbin25]

yes, i do believe it's in there.

and I don't mean to be a dick about this, but when you're lookin for songs, post it in the Tab Request thread.

and i'm also NOT trying to be a dick...but isn't it easier to find songs if each song has its own thread rather than trying to sift through several pages of a thread looking for the song?

[tomEisenbraun]

the point was to have the songs reposted as threads, and to post a thread when a song was worked out, so that the transcription was the point of the the thread, and not the search for it. the tab request thread is where to post when you're looking for something. and yeah, people do go in there and read what you're looking for. if something doesn't get posted, it probbaly hasn't been tabbed out yet. i think the way it was intended to work was like that. you make a thread for the song when you have it figured out, so that that's the topic of the thread.

Plus, it's pretty disappointing to go here, see a new thread titled Where to Begin and open it just to find "Anybody got this one?" You could just throw that in the discussion thread and you'd get the same answer. Not to be a jerk about all this, so i'm sorry if it came off like that, but I have been disappointed more than once by people posting a new thread about a song just to ask for it. i think it's in Riny's thread at the top that you're supposed to throw that in the Tab Request thread.

[tomEisenbraun]

sorry, but about the other comment. if something in that other thread hasn't been posted, you can most certainly do that with credit of the tabber to make it eaiser for everybody else. somebody's gotta do it sometimes. and i've seen a couple of times where somebody's requested something in that thread and somebody went and found it for em and posted it as a new thread. which is how it was meant to work.

[cmccubbin25]

thanks man...i appreciate the explanation.  i just wasn't sure and the way i was doing it was getting better results for me than posting in the tab request.  you are right though

and i'm still waiting for you to tab Tyrone!!!  i know you can do it!

[cmccubbin25]

i think the solo is this:

Solo:  D  Am  C  G

i could be wrong though....

[Jellyfish]

but it's a voice. and it's a choice

I think this is a D into a G not a Bm into a G.

[MyLifeISought]

from the Rolling Stone steam engine video:
 Bm    
it's not the dream
     G
that makes you weak
   Em    A    x02220, x02230,x02250
it's not the night that makes you sleep
 D                                         G  
but it's a voice. and it's a choice
  Em    A   x02220, x02230, x02250
to call you out. or stay at home

[SiOuxTribe]

yes, i do believe it's in there.
