 I droppped the buzzard in the sand  and trudged off slowly toward the town
 I needed dinner and a place         where I could throw my weight around

  I detected faint axilla scent       that put me off my appetite

  But mouflon warring where I went     renewed in me the will to fight!

Repeat intro chords
Repeat riff

Then revelling in mirror mask, I soon was lost in foggy ditch
Without a feather grey or white to tickle that piano witch
 Fearing that I must expose my worm to holographic haze
 My clinometer error rose, and spawned in her new mawkish ways!


Piano solos over intro changes...

D#                    A#          G#                   A#  
I woke the witch with reverence reserved for serpents, snails and slugs
D#                      A#            G#                     A#
I pulled the witch from out the ditch and turned to face the furry thugs
D#                         A#            G#                   A#
The sheep they smiled with teeth agleem, the weapons in their hooves revolved
D#           A#                G#                 F
I detected a prostatic ream--I gulped and felt my loins dissolve!!!!!


intro changes (yet again)

F
AXILLA, AXILLA, AXILLA, AXILLA  (yeah!)
(ad nauseum)
*****************************************************************************
key:

---8h10-------
hammer-on from 8th fret to 10th

----4^--------
bend at 4th fret

the A# in the intro should be played like this...

E----------------
B-------6--------  Index finger
G---------78^----  bend the 8th fret with ring finger, and use middle finger
D----------------  on 7th fret for easier bend  (trick learned by slavishly
A----------------  listening to jimmy page, i should guess :-))
E----------------

Alternate way to play the main riff:
E|-------------------------------------------------------|
B|-------------------------------------------------------|
G|------6------------------------6-----------------------|
D|--8-----8--6-8----6--------8-----8--6-8----------------|
A|-8-------8-----8----------8-------8--------------------|
E|6---6---------------8----6---6----------8--------------|
                      ^Bend up 1/2 step   ^

Last verse:


I woke the witch with reverence
reserved for serpents, snails, and slugs,
I pulled the witch from out the ditch
and turned to face the furry thugs,
The sheep they smiled with teeth agleam,
The weapons in their hooves revolved
I detected a prostatic ream,
I gulped and felt my loins dissolve!
