Intro (keyboard and drums x 8 bars) then enter guitar x 2 x 3 Twist away the gates of steel Unlock the secret voice Give in to ancient noise Take a chance a brand new dance x 4 bars Twist away the gates of steel Twist away now twist and shout B The earth it moves too slow But the earth is all we know We pay to play the human way x 4 bars Twist away the gates of steel (a man is real not made of steel) ( x 2 bars) x 2 (keyboard solo) But the earth is all we know We pay to play the human way x 4 bars Twist away the gates of steel The beginning was the end (of everything now) The ape regards his tail (he's stuck on it) Repeats until he fails Half a goon and half a god x 4 bars A man's not made of steel Twist away now twist and shout The earth it moves too slow But the earth is all we know We pay to play the human way x 4 bars Twist away the gates of steel (a man is real that's how he feels) outro x 2 x 3 Performance notes: - most of the guitar is just strummed once and held for the two beats, four beats or even two bars!! - major 'chunky' (as opposed to 'smooth' like the peanut butter) distortion with little treble on the guitar Have fun with it and enjoy!
