PIGS (3 Different Ones) Middle Solo
(I figured out what this Em D section is, If you listen it’s just all Em for
the whole bar with a quick D at the “uh-and” of the last q-note of the
measure):
This is actually the break between measures:
Em D Em D Em D Em D Em D Em D Em D Em D
C Bb C Bb C Bb C Bb C Bb C Bb Em ....

These two progression repeat over and over during the guitar solo.
There’s just one variation that happens on the C > B progression, which is a
slight bend and release of the b and g strings on the first two notes:
E|---3–----3---1----333--1---------|
B|---5b(6)r5-—-3----555--3---------|
G|---5b(6)r5---3----555--3---------|
D|---5—----5---3----555--3---------|
A|---3—----5---1----555--1---------|
E|---------------------------------|
The solo culminates by ending on on an Em, which brings the song back to the beginning, with
the Em > C organ riff and the choppy guitar stabs along with the melodic bass melody.
PIGS (3 Different Ones) Final Verse
Em C G Em
Hey you, Whitehouse, ha ha charade you are
C G Em
You house proud town mouse, ha ha charade you are
C G
You're trying to keep our feeling off the street
Am
You're nearly a real treat, all tight lips and cold feet
You gotta stem the evil tide and keep it all on the inside
Then it fades into the sheep sound and the first synth chords of “Sheep”
