 Vision Thing =


 


 (Main riff)


 Twenty-five whores in the room next door


 Twenty-five floors and I need more


 I=B4m looking for a can in the candy store


 Two thousand Hamburg four


 And colours I ain=B4t seen before


 


 (Chorus riff)


 It=B4s a small world and it smells funny


 I=B4d buy another if it wasn=B4t for the money


 Take back what I paid


 For another motherfucker in a motorcade


 


 (Main riff)


 In a long black car


 With the prettiest shit


 >From Panama


 When the sirens wail


 And the light flash blue


 My vision thing come


 Slamming through...


 =


 


 (Chorus riff)


 It=B4s a small world and it smells bad


 I=B4d buy another if I had


 Back what I paid


 For another motherfucker in a motorcade


 


 (Main riff)


 Slamming through...


 Slamming through...


 


 (Bridge riff)


 What do we need to make our, world come alive?


 What does it take to make us, sing?


 While we=B4re waiting for the, next one to arrive?


 One million points of light, One billion dollar vision thing...


 


 (Main riff)


 Another black hole in the killing zone


 A little more mad in the methedrome


 One blinding flash of sense


 Just like the president=B4s


 Well I don=B4t mind, out of my mind


 Blizzard king, bring it on home


 


 (Chorus riff)


 It=B4s a small world and it smells bad


 I=B4d buy another if I had


 Back what I paid


 For another motherfucker in a motorcade


 


 (Main riff)


 And a vision thing


 And a vision thing =


 


 And a sha la la la... =


 


 (Bridge riff)


 What do we need to make our, world come alive?


 What does it take to make us, sing?


 While we=B4re waiting for the, next one to arrive?


 One million points of light, One billion dollar vision thing...


 


 (Main riff)


 Sha la la la...


 Sha la la la...


 Sha la la la...


 Sha la la la...

 Some of the OLGA sites have been forced to close by a threatened lawsuit


 from EMI Publishing. Read this doc to find out more.


 


 The On-Line Guitar Archive is a collection of chords and tablature for


 thousands of songs. It also contains lessons, chord charts,


 software, information on building guitars, and many links to other


 guitar-related Web sites.


 


 Read the copyright notice before viewing any


 files, as it explains the restrictions on the use of the materials.


 OLGA is not responsible for what you do with the files that you take from


 the archive.

 Inside OLGA


 Most of the files in the archive will be found in the directories a-z


 and 1-9; they are organized according to the first letter/number of the


 band's name or artist's last name, but OLGA also contains a number specialised


 directories, dedicated to classical music, acoustic guitar, praise songs


 and ChordPro


 formatted songs (the classical, acoustic,


 praise_songs and chordpro directories, respectively.)


 


 Jan-Erik Schuch maintains the ChordPro archive, which contains most or


 all of the songs in ChordPro format that are in the main archive at OLGA,


 and about 2000 others as well.


 


 There is also a


 separate archive for country music.


 


 The collection of praise songs is maintained by Benson


 Trinh (btrinh@msn.com).


 


 OLGA also has a number of files with bass guitar tablature in the general


 archive - check the BTAB.INDEX at the top level to see what's


 available and where the files are. We hope to make the bass archive a


 separate entity very shortly.


 


 OLGA also contains directories of television, film and musical soundtracks


 as well as children's, christmas, and irish and other traditional songs.


 These can all be found in the m directory, under


 misc_soundtrack, misc_christmas, and so on.


 


 One document to keep on your person at all times (probably on a disk -


 you'd have to kill lots of trees to print it!) is the FLAT.INDEX.


 This file can be found at the top level of the archive and lists all of the


 files currently available. This is handy to have if your access is not


 perfect or you wish to limit your time on line, since you can quickly check


 to see if the file you want is in OLGA.


 


 A summary of the structure of OLGA can be found in


 the OLGA README file.


 


 


 Frequently Asked Questions


 


 I have a bunch of chord and tab files that I want to contribute to OLGA


 for all the world to see. How can I do that?


 


 At the minute, due to the forced closure of the Nevada site by


 EMI, we are no longer accepting submissions. When another base


 site becomes available, we will be accepting files.


 


 I tried to access one of the OLGA sites, and it said there were


 too many users already accessing the site. What should I do?


 


 Try a different mirror site. One of them is bound


 to be open.


 


 I downloaded a file, but it mostly just looks like a barbed-wire fence


 with numbers stuck on it. What is it?


 


 That's tablature, a wonderful system of writing down music for stringed


 instruments. If you're new to tab, read Howard Wright's


 guide to reading and writing tablature. If you


 are looking at a chord file, and don't know how to form the chords,


 check out the various chord dictionaries in the resources/chart_docs


 directory at at site. With the chord dictionary at eMedia,


 if you have a Java-enabled browser, you can hear


 the chords too!


 


 Okay, I read Howard's tab guide, and now I want to write down some tab.


 Do I need any special software to create my own tablature files?


 


 A lot of people use ordinary word processors or text editors to write


 tablature, but there are also a number of


 chord and tab utilities


 for various platforms. These utilities can be found at any of the OLGA


 sites (except the Australian one), in the resources directory.


 


 What do I do about files that end in .Z or .gz?


 


 Some of the mirror sites compress their files to save space, and the compressed


 files have a .Z or .gz suffix. Read the document on


 how to deal with compressed files.


 


 I'm using Microsoft Windows to access the Internet. Whenever I download


 a file with the .crd suffix and then try to open it, Windows thinks


 the file belongs to the Cardfile accessory. What's the deal?


 


 The .crd files are really just plain text. Read the document on


 how to deal with Windows Cardfile


 to get everything straightened out.


 


 I'm using America Online. Should I access OLGA like everyone else,


 or am I special?


 


 You're special. AOL users can get to the archive without going through


 the Web Browser, because AOL keeps a current copy of all our files. Read


 our instructions on accessing OLGA from AOL.


 


 I don't have access to the World Wide Web. (Okay, I actually do, or I


 wouldn't be reading this.) But my sister and my brother-in-law don't; they


 only have access to FTP. How can they use OLGA?


 


 OLGA is just an FTP archive; even your Web browser is getting the files via


 FTP. So Webless people should have no trouble at all. They should connect to


 olga.net with their FTP client, and read the file called


 /pub/guitar/.message;


 it will give them the URL's of all the OLGA sites, which they can print out


 for future reference.


 


 My mom and dad don't even have FTP; they just have e-mail. Can they


 use OLGA?


 


 Yes! They can use a service called "FTPmail." Send them a copy of our


 document about accessing OLGA via e-mail.


 


 Do you guys have a list of other guitar-related Internet sites?


 


 We have a page with links to other Internet


 guitar resources. You can find almost anything through the indexes


 listed on that page.


 


 Who runs OLGA?


 


 Most of the archive work is done by Cal Woods, but we have a little


 committee of Internet-literate guitar players who make decisions,


 write the "help" files, design the Web pages, etc. For more information,


 you can read all about who we are.


 


 What if I still have a question?


 


 Queries, as well as comments and error reports, should be addressesd


 to guitar@olga.net. They should


 never go to the sysadmins of any site. Requests for songs not at OLGA


 should be made in the guitar.tab newsgroups. We will not send out


 files - you just have to learn how to use the web, ftp, etc.


 


 


 Please send any comments/corrections/additions about this


 page to webmaster@olga.net.
