Indian Woman, let down your hair. (x2)
(Chorus again)
(solo)
V3: (Everybody's favourite Am/Em riff)
All the temples stand in ruin (in ruin)
Reaching out to the gods in the sky (of the sky)
While the earth beats to the rhythm (beat to the rhythm)
My Indian lover's high,high,high,high...
Chorus
Ad lib over chorus' chords.
End when you hold that D chord on "help me girl"
NOTE: an "x" indicates a tambourine slam in the chorus,
and means "twice" if followed by a number. Ie: (x2)
and "x~~~~~~~~~" is a tambourine slam and shake.
(Is that considered drum tab?)
