99th Dream (Swervedriver)

This is probably one of the hardest songs to play, and I do not have the picked
parts quite right, but it sounds ok, and is really fun to play.

General Notes:

Standard Tuning, Capo on the 7th Fret. Adapted from an in store show at
Soundscapes in Toronto. The song is in 4/4 time, but there are a lot of triplets,
where each beat is broken into three evenly spaced notes, so I write an entire bar

as: 1 2 3 2 2 3 3 2 3 4 2 3.

One day we’ll work the world without these

Love your ways

Verse:

This is the same as the first verse.

Somewhere up in the sky
The Hindenburg still flies
You're still flying from the night before
Last night the big score
As we lie half in traction
And in stereo start to dream
Architecture, nature, alcohol
Space travel, rock n roll

Bridge:

Only sing the words on the last two repeats.

Love your ways

Chorus:

This is the same as the first chorus, but only sing the last “Love your ways”


Verse:

This is also the same as the first verse.

Shop windows at night
And endless possibilities
The mannequin's blank face
Reflecting how you feel
So glamorous and surreal
It's a thin veneer
And something's got to give out here
I'm dreaming number 99
Get me to the world on time

Chorus:

Finish the song with the Chorus twice in a row.
