This song is a little tougher than the earlier three because it’s a lot longer
and a bit more complicated. First, tune your low E string (6th string) down a
whole step to a D. The intro is a sitar-like line with some weird noise
gate/static effect:
Repeat 10x

guitar solo, very fuzzed out
to play this solo completely correct, you’re going to have to tranpose up
an octave, and then slap some of that Octaver on there, but I thought it
would just be easier if I transcribed it in the lower octave… go buy that
effect, or an Octave Fuzz….

Lyrics to Hummer:
Faith lies in the ways of sin
Chased the charmed but I don’t want them anymore
And in their eyes I was alive — a fool’s disguise
Take me away from here
Shame my tongue fat with promise all along
When I woke up from that sleep
I was happier than I’d ever been
When you decide that your life is a prize
Renew, revive, it’s all right honey, it’s all right, yeah
Happines will make you wonder
Will I feel ok
It scared the disenchanted
Far away
Yeah, I want something new
But what am I supposed to do
I-I, I love you
Yeah, I-I love you
It’s true
Life’s a bummer, when you’re a hummer
Life’s a drag
Ask yourself a question, anyone but me, I ain’t free
Ask yourself a question, anyone but me, I ain’t free
Do you feel
Love is real?
