Swervedriver-These Times

This is probanly the easiest Swervie song to play. Ever. To play this acoustically, 
the open chords are:-

  Verses:- C, G, Dmin, F
           C, G, Amin, F
           C, G, Dmin, BbMaj
           C, F, Intro chords.

  Bridge/End of solo:- C, F, C, F, C, F, Intro chords

In a band situation, you might just want to play barre chords, only hitting the three 
bass-side strings as on the album it's the bass guitar carrying the verses. The guitars 
just aren't massively prominent in the mix here. There's just seems to be harmonics and 
such like being played in the background. The wah bit in the 2nd last verse-I haven't a 
scooby doo what it is so if anyone figures it out, post it in.

The Intro chord referred to above is B flat major but is played thus:-

       E|---------0---- Backwards strum the first bit,
       B|--6------6---- treble to bass.
       G|--7----------- The second figure is played
       D|--8----------- right after-by both guitars.
       A|--8-----------
       E|--6-----------

The only other section where there is definite two guitar action is the solo, and here it 
is. By the way, any time you see the letter B, it means bend. :-

       E|--------------------------------------------
       B|--------------------------------------5-3---
       G|-------------------------------5--5-------5-
       D|---------------------------5-7------3-------
       A|-----3-5B-3-5-3------3-5-7------------------
       E|-3^5-------------3^5------------------------

       E|-------------------------------------3-------
       B|---------------------------------------5-----
       G|-------------------------------5---------5---
       D|---------------------------5-7---------------
       A|-----3-5B-3-5--------3-5-7-------------------
       E|-3^5-------------3^5-------------------------

       E|-------------------------
       B|----5^6-5-3--------------
       G|------------5------------
       D|-3-----------------------
       A|-------------------------
       E|-------------------------

       E|-------------------------------------------
       B|--------------------------------------5----
       G|----------------------------5--5-5---------
       D|------------------------5-7--------3-------
       A|-----3-5B-3-5-----3-5-7--------------------
       E|-3^5----------3^5--------------------------

       E|-0-0-0-0-0-0--------- Rythm guitar plays the
       B|-3^5-3^5-3^5--------- F and C in this bit.
       G|---------------------
       D|---------------------
       A|---------------------
       E|---------------------

       E|-0-0-0-0-0-0--0-0-0-0-0---- Rythm guitar goes
       B|-8-6-5-3-1-3B-8-6-5-3-10--- into the intro
       G|--------------------------- chord here.
       D|---------------------------
       A|---------------------------
       E|---------------------------

As usual, listen to the tune to get the rythm. The end of the solo makes a re-appearance 
just before the end but that's it to be honest.

The Bass guitar(treble full, slight fuzz) intro's with a glissando up the fretboard from 
the 6th fret E string to  the 13th fret A string. Drummers-don't forget your maraca for 
the floor tom and stay away from anything resembling fills or cymbals for that matter.
