Portrait of a Scientist As a Young Man

CGCGCE
capo 4

first to learn is the cool part in the middle.

basic chords:
--------------------------------------|
--2----2---2------------------0-------|
--0----0---0---------4---2---0--------|
--5----5---5-4--x3---0---0---0--------|
--3------------------0---0------------|
-------3---0---------4---2---0--------|

remeber youre in open tuning so be sure to make some strings ring here and there in true brad fashion.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------
----2-----2--------------5---5----------2-------2----2-----------------
----0-----0-----0-----------3----5--3-5----------0----0-----------------
--5----5---------5-4--------------------------5----5-------5-4---------
-3------------0------0---3--------------------3------------0------------
------3-----0-------------------3-------0---------3-----0--------------


-----------------------------|
---------------------0-------|
--4----4---2-0------0--------|
-----0---------6----7* see note
----0------------------------|
---4------2-------0----------|

*the recording i have (11-11-06) that i posted earlier has what sounds like brad messing up, maybe he broke a string? witnesses? but i love love love the dissonance that is created there, when the chords sound choppy. it sounds so good and i hope he was just trying to play another part/section of this middle part. if not that dissonance really should be in there, its so perfect. enough about the dissonance

chromatic sounding intro:

?????????
-3-4-5-6-------------------------------|
-3-2-1-0-------------------------------|
0-0-0-0-------------------------------|
-----------------------------------|
-----------------------------------|
-----------------------------------|
