	  SHOT OF LOVE  by  KING'S X 
 
                        from Out Of The Silent Planet 
 
Transcribed/Deciphered by Brian King 
 
Notes:  I have made this transcription for one guitar. 
If you listen closely you will hear an acoustic buried in the 
mix, but I have left this out.  Ther is also a sitar at end, 
after the solo; this is also omitted.  If I have missed any 
notes, they are so minor that Ty probably does not even play 
them himself live - so don't worry about it. I have included 
timing notes above the staff, using the standard system of 
1e&a 2e&a 3e&a 4e&a, where each one is a sixteenth note (or rest.) 
Therefore, 1&2&3&4& means straight eighth notes, and 1234 means 
straight quarter notes.  The numbers coincide with the onset of 
a note or rest.  Triplets are noted by: 1 b c, 2 b c... where each 
note is a third of a beat.  The time signature for Shot Of Love is 
4/4, noted at the beginning of each staff.  NOTE:  TUNE YOUR 6TH 
STRING DOWN TO D!  Have fun.  My Internet address is: 
[email protected].  Call me if you need help.  Does anyone 
want a BASS TRANSCRIPTION for this song?  If so, let me know...

LYRICS: 
 
See the bread, see the wine, see the graft into the vine 
This is what is to be; it always made sense to me 
 
Send us a shot of love (across the mountains to the sea) 
>From the poles of north and south (wherever we may be) 
Send us a shot of love (across the mountains to the sea) 
>From the poles of north and south (wherever we may be) 
 
Sometimes my cup is empty; my wish- that it stayed full 
'Cause I am always thirsty.  I can't get enough of you. 
 
REPEAT CHORUS 
 
There is nowhere else to go (there is nothing else to do) 
There is nowhere else to turn (the first and last is you) 
Here I am, here I am. 
Oh, I hear the music.  Oh, I need a brand new song. 
'Cause my hearing is so weak you see.  Help me to sing along. 
 
REPEAT CHORUS 
 
Send us a shot of love!
