ARMY ANTS
STONE TEMPLE PILOTS

I guess that everybody who has purple (or whatever you want to
call that album),loves this song. It's so powerful !!!!
Anyway, it's very easy to play, you just have to properly keep
the rhythm.
I believe it's tuned half a step down.

I'm not going to tab out the weird intro because i haven't
figured it out. But what i do know is that the effect is
achieved using a phase shifter.

main riff:   fast  (X4)
    D5       A5   B5   E5 F5           C5

	Now here, it goes back to that stuff from the intro.
Then comes the solo, during which you play the main riff. And
then this

Go back to the verse and pre chorus

For the outro, fiddle around with A and end with Ebsus2.

LYRICS:
You don't look but you kick me
You can't feel but you hit me
You can't live with the way i pray

Why do we all have to look this way
I gotta heart, i got blood feel pain

Time time is not on my side
cause the way i am.
Gotta gotta now gotta find a reason why
A woman aint a man

(verse 1)

Why do we all have to think this way
I gotta heart, i got blood feel pain

Fall into those single file lines
like army ants
Yeah, fall into those single file lines
And complete the plan

(verse 1)

(pre chorus 2)

You don't look but you kick me
You can't deal with the way i pray

	There it is. I'm pretty sure it's right. If you think i screwed
up somewhere, send me corrections. I'll be glad to recieve them.

Have fun, drink milk.
	J.P.
