None of them
This song is a little tougher than the earlier three because it's a lot longer
and a bit more complicated. First, tune your low E string (6th string) down a
whole step to a D. The intro is a sitar-like line with some weird noise
gate/static effect:
Repeat 10x
--2h3p2-------------2h3p2-----2-3--

guitar solo, very fuzzed out
to play this solo completely correct, you're going to have to tranpose up
an octave, and then slap some of that Octaver on there, but I thought it
would just be easier if I transcribed it in the lower octave... go buy that
effect, or an Octave Fuzz....

Lyrics to Hummer:
Faith lies in the ways of sin
Chased the charmed but I don't want them anymore
And in their eyes I was alive -- a fool's disguise
Take me away from here
Shame my tongue fat with promise all along
When I woke up from that sleep
I was happier than I'd ever been
When you decide that your life is a prize
Renew, revive, it's all right honey, it's all right, yeah
Happines will make you wonder
Will I feel ok
It scared the disenchanted
Far away
Yeah, I want something new
But what am I supposed to do
I-I, I love you
Yeah, I-I love you
It's true
Life's a bummer, when you're a hummer
Life's a drag
Ask yourself a question, anyone but me, I ain't free
Ask yourself a question, anyone but me, I ain't free
Do you feel
Love is real?
