The clock strikes twelve and moon drops burst out of you from their hiding
place. Like acid and oil on a mad man's face, his reason tends to fly away.
Like lesser birds on the four winds; like silver scrapes in May. And now
the sands become a crust. Most of you have gone away.
Note: The way I play the chord ( the others are played similarly ) is
to play like an arpeggio ie.: Hold the chord О22ООО and play the
note (5th str. 2nd fret) then the (6th open) the again with the
optional (4th str. 2nd fret) and then strum the chord up (or down.)
using the first 3 strings in the open position while ringing the bass notes.
Second small leads (pull off 7to5 if you prefer)

Hey! Hey!
Repeat and play a blues scale over the chord progression above. Note that
the song is in the Key of but runs work well and y'know the mixylodian
scales that Buck uses. Modify the blues scales to your liking as best
you can and also play parts of the lead parts shown above to get the sound.
For the lead parts try the 3rd run of blues scales on the 5th fret.
Happy playing.
