Grind

this is my attempt at this song...if you: 

	a) find any mistakes 

	b) can be bothered transcribing the solo

	c) really liked / hated this transcription

please feel free to email me at [email protected]

   

verses: Dm Dm/C A#maj7 Am

choruses: Gm Am A# C



if you are playing this song by yourself (as so many of us bedroom 

performers do) you might want to play the full chords as listed for the 

chorus. for the pedants,  you will notice that on the recording, these 

are played as simple power chords.



Dm     xx0231

Dm/C   x30231	

A#maj7 x13231 or x1323x (if yr lazy like me)

Am     x02210



Brian also suggests playing Asus4 for the first two beats of the Am

chord...and it works for me, so here's the chord along with my thanks to Brian for the corrections.



Asus4  x02230



Gm (full chord) 355333 or G5 (power chord)  355xxx

Am (full chord) x02210 or A5 (power chord)  x022xx

A# (full chord) x13331 or A#5 (power chord) x13300

C  (full chord) x32010 or C5 (power chord)  x355xx

SOLO



this solo isn't too hard, just alot of work to transcribe, so just try noodling around in the key of D minor... Marty seems to use alot of descending runs in this solo (which also features a delay, or echo, effect throughout).



Intro Bit + Lead



Verse 1

 [Dm]               [Dm/C]        [A#maj7]         [Am]

   The wine in your hand is worth two at the bar

 [Dm]            [Dm/C]                [A#maj7]     [Am]

   And everybody knows what you've been drinking

 [Dm]          [Dm/C]           [A#maj7]       [Am]

   Disgraceful sky flecked with a nightmare of stars

 [Dm]            [Dm/C]                [A#maj7]    [Am] 

   And everybody knows how you've been sinking 



Chorus 1   

 [Gm]            [Am]    [A#]       [C]

   Long distance century buzzes and fades

 [Gm]       [Am]             [A#]   [C]

   I wonder why you've not resigned

 [Gm]       [Am]        [A#]    [C]

   Previews processions and parades

   

                 [Dm]   [Dm/C]   [A#maj7]    [C]

   You've got to grind, grind it out



Verse 2   

   Line up the arrows, push off the top

   This can cause sustain forever

   And once it's started up, it cannot be stopped

   At least it's holding us together

   

Chorus 2

   Long distance century buzzes and fades

   An automatic charge on your mind

   The glittering minutes, jangled decades



   We've got to grind, grind it out   



Verse 3 (if you don't have a piano player handy, just strum the chords 

	 really softly)



   A vortex appears, unleashed by the crash

   A moment marred by hesitation

   Bedazzled surgeon chases the gash

   But we don't need that operation

   

Chorus 3

   Long distance century buzzes and fades

   Elysian Fields not far behind

   Find me a witness amongst these shades



   They've got to grind, grind it out

 

Solo

 

Chorus 4

   Long distance century buzzes and fades

   I hope the deaf can lead the blind

   Lift me up into those whirling blades

   

   I've got to grind, grind it out
