Tuned down 1/2-step

Comments: Whoever plays bass on this track (and the sheer number of 
variations makes me think it¥s Gene) is solid, and lays down several 
cool variations on the fairly simple chorus riff. Lots of fun stuff to 
learn.

Key:
/    = slide up
\    = slide down
b    = bend (whole step)
b^   = bend (1/2 step)
b^^  = bend (1 1/2 steps)
pb   = pre-bend
r    = release-bend
t    = tap with righthand finger
h    = hammer-on
p    = pull-off
~    = Vibrato
*    = Natural Harmonic
#(#) = Trill
**   = Artificial Harmonic
x    = Dead notes (no pitch)
P.M. = Palm mute (- -> underneath indicates which notes)
(\)  = Dive w\bar
(/)  = Release w\bar
Tp   = Tap w\plectrum

I'm almost human, can't help feelin' strange 
The moon is out, I think I'm gonna change 

[Rhy. Fig 3]
You're so smooth and tender, a living, breathing dream 
I've got to have you, baby, I'm listenin' for your scream 

[Rhy. Fig 4]
I'm almost human, I'm almost a man 
I'm almost human, ooh 

[Rhy. Fig 2]
I'm almost human, baby please don't run away 
'Cause wherever you run I'll be your scrape-away 

[Rhy. Fig 3]
I'm very hungry and you're what I'm thinkin' of 
Ooh baby, baby, baby, so hungry for your love 

[Rhy. Fig 5]
I'm almost human, oh, almost a man 
I'm almost human, whoo 

[Rhy. Fig 6]

[Rhy. Fig 3]
I'm very hungry and you're what I'm thinkin' of 
Ooh baby, baby, baby, so hungry for your love 

[Rhy. Fig 7]
I'm almost human, I'm almost a man 
I'm almost human, I'm almost human 
I'm almost human, I'm almost human 
I'm almost human, almost, almost, almost a man 
I'm almost human 
Almost, almost, almost, almost, almost, almost human 
I'm almost human, I'm almost human 
I'm almost human, almost a man 
I'm almost human, almost, almost, almost 
I'm almost human
