 * Eons from the Soundsystem album is actually played on a 7 string guitar.
 Play all the the fifth chords in the first chorus on the low B string.

 Since most people don't have a 7-string guitar, this is tabbed out for a
 standard 6-string guitar.

 Lyrics/Song Structure:
 ======================
 ---> Play Intro/Verse (x1)
 ---> Play Intro/Verse over:
 You got a wishing well within
 That's ready to begin
 See how we roll
 See how we roll
 I'm trying to compromise
 Because with me there are no lies
 See how we run
 It's already begun
 Now that I'm back to a pushing pin
 That weighs two hundred tons
 I'd like to drop it on you
 And watch it all fall through
 ---> Play Fill 1 (x1)
 ---> Play Chorus A over:
 Nobody knows just what
 You're battling inside
 You can't hide
 Nobody knows just why
 Most everyone will lie
 If they need to
 ---> Play Intro/Verse over:
 The ones who aggravate you most
 And happen to be ever close
 Seem to be the ones lurching
 For the same things that you are searching
 The ones that make you feel ill
 And you think that nature should have killed
 Those you curse when you're alone
 Seem to be so close to home
 ---> Play Fill 1 (x1)
 ---> Play Chorus B over:
 Not an even field to be on
 Feels like standing still for eons and eons
 Stare it dead in the eye, what now?
 All we can due is try to shut it down
 Shut it down
 Not an even field to be on
 Feels like standing still for eons and eons
 Stare it dead in the eye, what now?
 All we can do is try to shut it down
