Chords for all\r\nrhythm sections included. There are some decent tabs out there for this song, but no\r\nchord posts. This is a Bush song, so I won't try to overcomplicate it as others have. I \r\nfound the tabs extremely hard to follow. My goal is to eliminate all the guess work in\r\noffering a complete and intuitive version.\r\n\r\nSection Details\r\n\r\nIntro/Main riff: |[ch]C#[/ch] [ch]D#[/ch] >E >F |[ch]C#[/ch] [ch]D#[/ch] >E >F# |[ch]C#[/ch]   [ch]A[/ch]    |[ch]C#[/ch]   [ch]A[/ch]    | (x2)\r\n\r\n(moderately fast)\r\n\r\n[tab] | [ch]C#[/ch]      [ch]D#[/ch]  > [ch]E[/ch]       > [ch]F#[/ch]      |       -------------+\r\n:| 1 . & . 2 . & . 3 . & . 4 . & . |                    |[/tab]\r\n[tab]e|---------------------------------|                    |\r\nB|---------------------------------|                    |\r\nG|-6---6-x-8-8-/-9-9-9-x-/-11x-11x-|                    |\r\nD|-x---x-x-x-x-/-x-x-x-x-/-x-x-x-x-|                    |\r\nA|-4---4-x-6-6-/-7-7-7-x-/-9-x-9-x-|                    |\r\nE|---------------------------------|: (x2)              |[/tab]\r\n                                                        |\r\nthen...                                                 +---- play twice\r\n                                                        |\r\n[tab] | [ch]C#[/ch]              [ch]A[/ch]               |                    |\r\n:| 1 . & . 2 . & . 3 . & . 4 . & . |                    |[/tab]\r\n[tab]e|---------------------------------|                    |\r\nB|---------------------------------|                    |\r\nG|-6(6)6(6)6-x-x-x-----------------|                    |\r\nD|-6(6)6(4)6-x-x-x-7-5h7-5h7-x-x-x-|                    |\r\nA|-4(4)4(4)4-x-x-x-7-5h7-5h7-x-x-x-|                    |\r\nE|-----------------5-5-5-5-5-x-x-x-|: (x2) -------------+\r\n \"(head,   head,   head,   head-head)\"\r\n                          \"Breathe...\" (on last pass)[/tab]\r\n\r\nVerse: |[ch]C#[/ch]    |[ch]C#[/ch]    |[ch]A[/ch]     |[ch]A[/ch]     | (as needed)\r\n\r\n(\"Breathe\" Part shown, but same for all verse sections)\r\n\r\n\"Breathe...\"\r\n\r\n[tab] | C#                              |       -------------+\r\n:| 1 . & . 2 . & . 3 . & . 4 . & . |                    |\r\ne|---------------------------------|                    |\r\nB|---------------------------------|                    |\r\nG|-6(6)6---x-x-x---6-4h6-4h6-x-x-x-|                    |\r\nD|-6(6)6---x-x-x---6-4h6-4h6-x-x-x-|                    |\r\nA|-4(4)4---x-x-x---4-4-4-4-4-x-x-x-|                    |\r\nE|---------------------------------|: (x2)              |\r\n1)\"in...   breathe out...   breathe\"                    |\r\n2)\"in...   breathe out...   breathe\"                    |\r\n                                                        +---- play twice\r\nthen...                                                 |[/tab]\r\n                                                        |\r\n[tab] | [ch]A[/ch]                               |                    |\r\n:| 1 . & . 2 . & . 3 . & . 4 . & . |                    |[/tab]\r\n[tab]e|---------------------------------|                    |\r\nB|---------------------------------|                    |\r\nG|---------------------------------|                    |\r\nD|-7(7)7---x-x-x---7-5h7-5h7-x-x-x-|                    |\r\nA|-7(7)7---x-x-x---7-5h7-5h7-x-x-x-|                    |\r\nE|-5(5)5---x-x-x---5-5-5-5-5-x-x-x-|: (x2) -------------+\r\n1)\"in.\"\r\n2)                         \"Breathe...\" (when repeating)\r\n                   \"Tied   to  a......\" (before verse 1)\r\n                   \"Deaf, dumb, and...\" (before verse 2)[/tab]\r\n\r\nChorus: |E   B   |C#   A* | (x4) *A not played on last pass, hold C#\r\n\r\n[tab] | [ch]E[/ch]               [ch]B[/ch]               | [ch]C#[/ch]              [ch]A[/ch]               |\r\n:| 1 . & . 2 . & . 3 . & . 4 . & . | 1 . & . 2 . & . 3 . & . 4 . & . |[/tab]\r\n[tab]e|---------------------------------|---------------------------------|\r\nB|---------------------------------|---------------------------------|\r\nG|-9---9---9-x-x-x-----------------|-6---6---6-x-x-x-----------------|\r\nD|-9---9---9-x-x-x-9-9--9--9-x-9-x-|-6---6---6-x-x-x-7-7--7--7-x-7-x-|\r\nA|-7---7---7-x-x-x-9-9--9--9-x-9-x-|-4---4---4-x-x-x-7-7--7--7-x-7-x-|\r\nE|-----------------7-7--7--7-x-7-x-|-----------------5-5--5--5-x-5-x-|: (x3)\r\n1)        \"Got a   ma--chine.....   head!...

Chords for all\nrhythm sections included. There are some decent tabs out there for this song, but no\nchord posts. This is a Bush song, so I won't try to overcomplicate it as others have. I \nfound the tabs extremely hard to follow. My goal is to eliminate all the guess work in\noffering a complete and intuitive version.\n\nSection Details\n\nIntro/Main riff: |C# D# >E >F |C# D# >E >F# |C#   A    |C#   A    | (x2)\n\n(moderately fast)\n\n\n\n                                                        |\nthen...                                                 +---- play twice\n                                                        |\n\n\n\nVerse: |C#    |C#    |A     |A     | (as needed)\n\n(\"Breathe\" Part shown, but same for all verse sections)\n\n\"Breathe...\"\n\n\n                                                        |\n\n\n\nChorus: |E   B   |C#   A* | (x4) *A not played on last pass, hold C#\n\n\n\n\nthen...\n\n\n\n\nPost-chorus/bridge: |F#m   |A      | (x2 or x3, depending)\n\n\n\nEnding: (not right, but sounds cool/better than nothing...)\n\n\n\n\nthen...\n\n\n\n\nThat's it, now here's the complete song with chords & lyrics...\n\n***\n\nBush - Machine Head\n\nIntro:\n\n|C# D# >E  >F  |\n|C# D# >E  >F  |\n|C#     A      | (over \"head, head, head, head-head\")\n|C#     A      | (over \"head, head, head, head-head\")\n\n|C# D# >E  >F  |\n|C# D# >E  >F  |\n|C#     A      | (over \"head, head, head, head-head\")\n|C#     A      | (over \"head, head, head.
