>OK kids, here's my tab for Psi Power as heard on "Stonehenge:  This is
Hawkwind, Do Not Panic".  This is very difficult to do without being able to
write out the notes.  I'm not sure how to notate time values.... I guess I
can't, without notes.  Anyway, here we go.
>
>I'm going to notate things by listing the string number, a comma, and the
fret number, so for example (2,5) means play the second string at the fifth
fret.  If I've stacked several of these things together, it's a chord, for
example A major is (1,0)
>   (2,2)
>   (3,2)
>   (4,2)
>   (5,0)
>
>I'll put the name of the chord over the tab as well.  Use your ears for the
rhythm, since I can't figure out any means of notating it without the use of
ordinary notes, so I guess this will just be a rough idea.  OK...

>/E      /D        /C        /C
> (3,9)   (3,7)     (3,5)     (3,5)
> (4,9)   (4,7)     (4,5)     (4,5)
> (5,7)   (5,5)     (5,3)     (5,3)

>do the above twice as the intro (again, listen to the record for the rhythm)
>and then repeat as the main body of the song, except that on the second
measure of the C, do this instead:
>
>(4,5)                      (4,5)
>(5,3)  (5,3)  (5,2) (5,3)         (5,3)  (5,2) (5,3)

>And then the chorus part goes....

>/G      /C     /G  /C   /G   /C  /Dsus4    D      /Dsus4  D  /Dsus4  D
>(1,3)    (1,0)                    (1,3)    (1,2)
>(2,3)    (2,1)                    (2,3)    (2,3)
>(3,0)    (3,0)                    (3,2)    (3,2)
>(4,0)    (4,2)                    (4,0)    (4,0)
>-----    (5,3)
>(6,3)    -----

>And then...

>/E    /E    /A       /A    /C      /C
>(1,0)        (1,0)          (1,0)
>(2,0)        (2,2)          (2,1)
>(3,1)        (3,2)          (3,0)
>(4,2)        (4,2)          (4,2)
>(5,2)        (5,0)          (5,3)
>(6,0)

>and then back to the verse part for the rhythm guitar while Huw plays a
lead.  Listen to the song for order of parts etc.  I don't recall myself
offhand, as I haven't played the song in a long time.
>
>then there's a modulation part that goes...
>/A#     /C
>(3,3)    (3,5)
>(4,3)    (4,5)
>(5,1)    (5,3)
>
>all the lead stuff is basically in E minor/G major if that's any help.  If
I'm feeling ambitious sometime soon, I'll transcribe the leads also, but for
now I have to go study my calculus for tomorrow...
