Hell Freezes Over
1994
This is another of their new songs, a really good one off Hell Freezes Over. It's
really really simple to play because there are 3 easy guitar parts plus an important bass
part (which is what you get for letting your bassist sing). Here we go. I know lots
of you have asked for this song, so you'd better have fun with it :-).
GUITAR 1 plays the main riff you hear throughout the song.
It only changes during the bridge, and I'll indicate the changes then;
otherwise it just does the thing shown below (about 18 times).
GUITAR 2 is an electric that arpeggiates (slow strum through the chord) the chords shown
above the riff (only on the first beat of every chord change).
It plays the first time this riff is played, then it stops.
When it plays later, it is indicated by the chord over the lyrics.
GUITAR 3 plays the solos and some sliding chords during the bridge.
It is in open D tuning: (low to high) D A D F# A D and always uses a slide.

VERSE 1 & 2 (with GUITAR 1 riff 4 times):
I was standing all alone against the world outside
You were searching for a place to hide
Lost and lonely; now you've given me the will to survive
When we're hungry love will keep us alive
Don't you worry, sometimes you've just gotta let it ride
The world is changing right before your eyes
Now I've found you; there's no more emptiness inside
D2(6) A2
When we're hungry love will keep us alive
