99th Dream (Swervedriver)

This is probably one of the hardest songs to play, and I do not have the picked 
parts quite right, but it sounds ok, and is really fun to play. 

General Notes:

Standard Tuning, Capo on the 7th Fret. Adapted from an in store show at 
Soundscapes in Toronto. The song is in 4/4 time, but there are a lot of triplets, 
where each beat is broken into three evenly spaced notes, so I write an entire bar 
as: 1 2 3 2 2 3 3 2 3 4 2 3.

                     Before the  setting sun reclines, we hear West-         
                              One day  we&#8217;ll work  the   world  without these

Verse: 

This is the same as the first verse.

   Somewhere up in the sky
   The Hindenburg still flies
   You're still flying from the night before
   Last night the big score
   As we lie half in traction
   And in stereo start to dream
   Architecture, nature, alcohol
   Space travel, rock n roll

Bridge:

Only sing the words on the last two repeats.

       Love           your      ways

Chorus: 

This is the same as the first chorus, but only sing the last &#8220;Love your ways&#8221;

 
Verse: 

This is also the same as the first verse.

   Shop windows at night
   And endless possibilities
   The mannequin's blank face
   Reflecting how you feel
   So glamorous and surreal
   It's a thin veneer
   And something's got to give out here
   I'm dreaming number 99
   Get me to the world on time

Chorus: 

Finish the song with the Chorus twice in a row.
