Meat Puppets: Up on the Sun
	as transcribed by Yale J. Kaul
	

This is the main riff.  The notes are correct, I think, but it's quite
difficult to play it right (I'm no Kirkwood myself).  I left out the
hammer-on and pull-off notation here, but it should be easy to dope out
which notes to hammer/pull...

MAIN RIFF:
e------------------------------------- |
B--------------------------------------|
G------6-4-----------------------------|
D----------6-4-------------------------|
A---------------7-4--------------------|
E-----0---------------7-4--------0-----|

VERSE PART: These chords appear as follows:

E:	                      D: arpeggiate this as needed.	                B:
arpeggiate

e----------7---------|		e----------0---------------|
e----------2---------------|	
B----------7---------|		B----------3---------------|		B----------2

G----------9---------|		G----------2---------------|		G----------4

D----------9---------|		D----------0---------------|		D----------4

A----------7---------|		A----------X----------- ---|
A----------2---------------|
E----------X---------|		E----------X---------------|
E----------X---------------|              

   E			                    D                E
A long time ago I turned to myself and I said you are my daughter.

  E				       D	         E
I saw that the image I saw there was well so you are my daughter

B				         E
Well then maybe we've got something to talk about.

E				              D				              E
Who told you so? That gold burns slow. Like coal camper's candles all lost
in the snow.

-Now here in this middle part, we see those same chords E and B,  and this
new one (essentially an open A).  I'll just let you figure out where exactly
they go.  Also, it helps to have finger-picking skills here.

     A: arpeggiated
e---------0----------------------|
B---------0----------------------|
G---------2----------------------|
D---------2----------------------|
A---------0----------------------|
E--------------------------------|

-On the outro, just use any variant of the chords E, A, D, and B.

E				            D
Up on the sun where it never rains or snows, there's an ocean with a wind
that never blows

     E
And if you see it closer then the finer points will show

B		   E	     A
Not too much more too much more
