Transmissions From The Satellite Heart tab by a top bloke called Sam...
Please note that this is an INTERPRETATION provided as a guide to how you might begin to try to play the songs on this album. It is not a reproduction of that work and it is not sanctioned by the band. It's just for fun you know???
Here is my attempt to do a pretty simple transcription to the awesome Flaming Lips album 'Transmissions From The Satellite Heart'. Obviously i had to skip lots because to work out every single note of some solos would require skills of a nuclear physicist.
The little '#' signs signify a 'sharp' after a chord. And the cases where a chord is shown as this, 'Em' is an attempt to show it as a B minor chord. If you don't know how to read the tabulature parts...here is a little example... if you see something like this...

G---------5----5----------7--------7----5
D----7--------------7----------5-----------

This means that you read across to the right so play the seventh fret on a D string then 5th fret on G and 5th again on G, then 7th on D and then 7th on G and so on....
