 Tabbed by Thomas P.,
 
Hi, here is another tab I have made, the other revolve tabs I found were imcomplete and
some mistakes, so I send you the one i use.
if you have any corrections or anything else just email me at march_of_pig[@]hotmail.com .
 
I'm looking for some "noise rock" guitar stuff, so if you are well informed about it or
some interesting links in your bookmarks , let me know.

That's it.
 
Revolve
 
Freedom on like stems from walk away.
You gotta hold your time,
You gotta hit it with the right of way.
Maybe black too far for any like the one seen.
In a way it's sane,
Either way it's gotta mean.
Red sister might be chokin'
But I ain't about that kind.
Answer me with the rhythm of a body that was born to lose two times.
 
Hey big Bodie
He says deny but your for tin lie.
Head my shoulder
Big boat deloves, big boat deny.
 
They might try to hide
But they have to have some more dead sense.
You might be right
Like a ball in the wind.
Poison dandy lifeforms crime.
Mix both down cross,
Sticky pedal the line.
The flavor might be missin'
But he acts to cross that anyway.
You can bet he can diddle with the promise in the power of another day.
 
[Chorus]
 
Two of you sold my wallet.
One of you stole my tie.
Didn't you say that you're watching?
Do or die.
Venomous strange appears.
Three of you standing by.
Didn't you say that you've got it?
Watch me eye.

You've said the tab is in D tuning but you've written the tabs in drop D. Might wanna change the thing to say Drop D to avoid confusion
Solo is a half step too low and missing a lot of notes
Hello! what does it means the lettern S,E, H,Q ,E above the tab?? thank you!
