The Hum tab by Killing Joke

The Hum , awesome intro , never boring song ,
this is what Killing Joke is all about.
All fans should know how to play it.

Play the intro g-d-a up, then g-a alternately
and go on to 5 string chord , a-d-g down then
strike the lower strings upward two times ,
hitting the 3rd string ("d") on the way down.


e------------- | e------------- | e-- 8 --------
b------------- | b------------- | b-- 8 --------
g-- 1 -------- | g-- 2 -------- | g-- 8 --------
d-- 1 -------- | d-- x -------- | d-- 5 --------
a-- 0 -------- | a-- 0 -------- | a-- 6 --------
e---x--------- | e-- x -------- | e-- x --------

The second part of the intro goes d-g down/up
two times , go to second chord as before and then
hit 5 string chord , also as before

e------------- | e------------- | e-- 8 --------
b------------- | b------------- | e-- 8 --------
g-- 1 -------- | g-- 2 -------- | g-- 8 --------
d-- 1 -------- | d-- x -------- | d-- 5 --------
a-- 0 -------- | a-- 0 -------- | a-- 6 --------
e-- x -------- | e-- x -------- | e-- x --------

This is done four times with different variations
depending on the version.

Then play the following chords in between , along
with the voice. Strike the first one up-down-up
and then the second one up-down up , then the
first one and so alternately.
For the break , play the intro as the second
scheme.

e-- 0 -------- | e-- 0 -------- |
b-- 14 ------- | b-- 0 -------- |
g-- 0 -------- | g-- 13 ------- |
d-- x -------- | d-- x -------- |
a-- x -------- | a-- x -------- |
e---x--------- | e-- x -------- |

Guitar tone setting also depend on version ,
"Revelations" studio version is in higher tuning
then live versions.
I do many KJ songs , some are virtually impossible
to play , like "Sanity" and "wintergardens".
Enjoy !!
