Thanks for the response to "Bar Line 99". Here's an unsung tune of Ian's
that I really like. I'll try to get "Muddy Jesus" out when I get one of the
riffs down. But anyway, enjoy and tell others about Ian Moore.

		Lie - Ian Moore

well distorted, but soft and with a fast chorus on the verses. during the
verses, pick out the three notes of the power chords (D, D#, and E) as you
go. (n/c) means no chord is played here. the intro, fills, and solo are all
in the basic Em pentatonic scale (at bottom) and i encourage you to learn
ian's stuff, but improvise on it.

			  D   D#   E
Morning feels like a drag
			  D   D#   E
When you're all messed up
	     D   D#   E	          D   D#   E
Ain't got nobody         to pick you up
			  D   D#   E 	              	D   D#   E
And the phone don't ring              like it used to do

All those you thought your friends
			  D   D#   E

	B            B           B
Like a stone you've thrown your life to turns
   A            E (on the low E string)
of fancy and of flight
       A        E
It's a liiiiiiiie.
        D   D#   E
It's a lie.
			     D   D#   E
So you believe what they say
			    D     D#     E
With all their guilded praise
			  D     D#     E
You string up your accolades
			  D   D#   E
They string up your viens
			  D   D#   E
They like to push you up
			    D   D#   E
But they won't let you go
			           D       D#     E
They keep a tight keep a tight hold on you
			  D   D#   E
Just to let you know
	       B     B       B
That they'll always be your lover
           A              E (low string)
And you'll never know the crime
       A         E
It's a liiiiiiiiie

Break me down to blood and grit
       A         E
It's a liiiiiiiiie

Monkey blood and jinkie spit
       A         E
