Machine Punch Through 



	The song begins with a bass intro which I have written out so it can be
played on either bass or guitar, it sound good either way.  This part continues
for quite a bit into the song.

low E--5-5-5-0-0-0-7-7-7-7-3-3-10-10-10-10-5-5-12-12-12-12-8-8-

 This is later joined by piano and guitar witha simple Em chord (played right
before Dave starts singing, and before he says your fucking pistols not so
dangerous)  and guitar feedback later on, Mark demonstrated this to me and some
others at one show, but I can't remember quite how to do it.  If you care to try
this out, be my guest.

E-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

G----------4-----4---2--4/--5----------4----4---2--4----4--------------------------------
D----------4-----4---2--4/-5-----------4----4---2--4----4-------------------------------------

E------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
                 And you believe,           that I'd believe in...
	
Then after Dave sings "And you believe, that I'd believe in..."  there is a
simple chord progression that continues throughout the whole song.  It basically
goes like this, but is played using a rather odd strumming pattern that I can't
describe, you may want to play with the CD for this.


    Em
   All she said

                      G
   One little trick she said

                      Am  
   But it was lost on me

           C
   Machine punch through

          Em
   All she said

                    G
   One little word she said

                      Am
   But it was lost one me

                 C                                Em
G
    Machine punch through  punch through

                                    Am                       C       
    Machine punch through

                                     E                         G
    Machine punch  through

                                        Am
     Machine Punch through

           C                 Em
      Hey la hey la how


   Here the bass riff comes in again.  You can play single chords (using the
same pattern)  where the piano is played, it sounds fine either way.  When Dave
starts singing "Cigarettes..." there is a different variation to the chords, I
have tabbed this out as close to what is played as I can.

         Em                                                G     Am
C
E----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
B----------------------------------------------------2-------------------------------------
G-------------------------------------------------0-2--------------------------------------
D-----2---------------------------------------------2------------------------------2----------
A-----2----------------------------------------2---------------------------------3---3----------
E--------------------------------------------3------------------------------------------------
   cigarettes become a torch for me,      burn it deep into my arm
     
Then straight chords for awhile until "And you believe, that I'd believe in..."
   which is played like before.

Then the Chorus as played before, and the parts where he sings what sounds like
"Hey la, Hey la..." which are the same chords as the chorus.
The song ends on an Em chord.


Chords are played as following:

Em-022000

G-320003

Am-002220

C-032010

Any questions, additions,comments, corrections or chinese food menus(just
joking!) can be sent to me!
