[Hmm-hm-hm-hm-hmm-m
I've gotta see you moving fast, see you come my way
See the dreams, I hope they last, never fade away
Gotta see the lights above, make it loud tonight
Gotta set it all afire, set it all alight
See the flashing lights, hear the thunder roar
I am gonna set you all alight
Gotta make it man
I ain't got a choice
Gotta fill this hall tonight
Helpless (helpless)
Helpless (helpless)
Helpless (helpless)
Helpless (helpless)
I don't know what I'm gonna do, maybe not tonight
Gotta set you all afire, gotta treat you right
I can see the flashing lights, lit before your love
Gotta hear the thunder roar, coming from above
See the flashing lights, hear the thunder roar
I am gonna set you all alight
Gotta make it man, I ain't got a choice
Gotta fill this hall tonight
Helpless (helpless)

Huh!
I can see the stars, but I can't see what's going on
Every night alone I sing my song just for fun
Only time will tell if I'll make it myself someday
This stage is mine, music is my destiny
Cannot squeeze the life from me, yeah
I can see the stars, but I can't see what's going on
Every night alone I sing my song just for fun
Only time will tell if I'll make it myself someday
This stage is mine, music is my destiny
Cannot squeeze the life from me
Yeah-yeah-yeah
Hoh!
See ya
Keep it going and keep it ringing out, let it ring out
Hey, doc
Okay, turn it off now

Pick real Fast and alot
By this ( ) I mean hold the B chord with your ring finger and just perform the
hammer and pull-offs with your index finger. Repeat This rythmn figure until
you hit the bridge to the chorus. The Bridge into the chorus has a bunch of
power chords which are held. Listen to the tune and you'll get the picture....
Chorus (Lyrics go 'HELPLESS....!')

E|--5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5----------------|-5-5-5-5-5-3-3-3--|-5-5-5-5-5-3-3-5-
By this I mean play Part 1 three times, then play Part 2. Then you play Part 1
three times again and finish the chorus with Part 3. Work with me on this
one... I'm not sure about the part 1 section... but this is close....
Now return to ryth. Fig 1 amd play it till you hit the chorus a second
time... do the chorus again and then play rythmn Fig 1 again until you hit the
little Newstead bass solo, after which you hit a second bridge. I prefer to
enter into this section with a jumping, banging pick slide. In other words I
bounce the pick off the low E, A and D while sliding the edge down the
fretboard... Anyway it sounds real cool...

Ok, Lots of explaining to do... first of all the bridge: play each section
marked for repetition and then proceed to the next bar... do not go back to
the beginning of the bridge each time... I just was lazy and didn't want to
write it all up... listen to the song and then try to figure it out...The
bridge ends with four power chords: B, G, A, B. Then the song heads into
rythmn figure 2.
Rythmn Fig. 2 is played FAST! Repeat it a bunch of times until you hit the
second set of lyrics. Then break into Rythmn Fig 3 followed by Rythmn Fig 3a.
After the lyrics then back to Rythmn Fig. 2. This entire thing is repeated
twice (I think.... Check out the song).
Now we head towards the guitar solo. Rythmn fig 2 is played once and followed
by rythmn Figure 1. Ryth. Fig 1 repeats a bunch of times and the intro to
the solo starts with an E power chord on 0th fret. Rythmn Fig 1. is played
behind the solo until near the end of the solo the Rythmn changes to rythmn
figure 4.

Now finish the solo off with Rythmn Fig. 3a....
The lead for the solo is basically a blues based Hammet solo in F#.
Most of it is played on 14th fret, and Kirk does his standard drop down to F#
on the 2nd fret.
[Hmm-hm-hm-hm-hmm-m
I've gotta see you moving fast, see you come my way
See the dreams, I hope they last, never fade away
Gotta see the lights above, make it loud tonight
Gotta set it all afire, set it all alight
See the flashing lights, hear the thunder roar
I am gonna set you all alight
Gotta make it man
I ain't got a choice
Gotta fill this hall tonight
Helpless (helpless)
Helpless (helpless)
Helpless (helpless)
Helpless (helpless)
I don't know what I'm gonna do, maybe not tonight
Gotta set you all afire, gotta treat you right
I can see the flashing lights, lit before your love
Gotta hear the thunder roar, coming from above
See the flashing lights, hear the thunder roar
I am gonna set you all alight
Gotta make it man, I ain't got a choice
Gotta fill this hall tonight
Helpless (helpless)
Helpless (helpless)
Helpless (helpless)
Helpless (helpless)
Huh!
I can see the stars, but I can't see what's going on
Every night alone I sing my song just for fun
Only time will tell if I'll make it myself someday
This stage is mine, music is my destiny
Cannot squeeze the life from me, yeah
I can see the stars, but I can't see what's going on
Every night alone I sing my song just for fun
Only time will tell if I'll make it myself someday
This stage is mine, music is my destiny
Cannot squeeze the life from me
Yeah-yeah-yeah
Hoh!
See ya
Keep it going and keep it ringing out, let it ring out
Hey, doc
Okay, turn it off now
