Transcribed by John Meredith
This is my first tab posting so I hope you people like it! It is a
fairly simple song to play, just a bunch of chords played through
heavy distortion with liberal amounts of palm muting which is SO
effective!
All chords are ACTUAL notes for a 1/2 tone drop tuning so most can
be played on a normal tuned guitar if shifted down a semi-tone
(1 fret).
The chords used are:
E A D G B e
A#5 7 9 9 x x x or x 2 4 4 x x
G5 4 5 5 x x x
C5 x 4 5 5 x x
F5 2 5 5 x x x
G#5 5 7 7 x x x or x 0 2 2 x x
D#5 x 7 9 9 x x
D5 x 6 8 8 x x
D#5(2) 0 2 2 x x x (or if you don't detune x 1 1 x x x )
*ALL CHORDS ARE PALM MUTED UNLESS STATED OTHERWISE*
VERSE 1:
(For the first section, Pete plays the bass only, but guitar can be
added by hitting the A# note on the 7th fret of the bass E string
fast)
A# bass note ---------------------------> G5
I had the best intentions yeah honestly I paid attention
A#5 G5
I'm a loose conection so promise me a soft injection
PRE-CHORUS:
C5 F5 G5 C5 G#5 A#5
A shallow feeling defies meaning
CHORUS:
D# A#5
I need a holiday, to blow you all away,
C5 G5
lose all the stiffs in my parade
D# A#5
I need a holiday, a nuclear holiday,
C5 G5
just go anywhere I'll stay
VERSE 2: (same as verse 1)
Fell on the outside, where givin' in comes in like the tide
And everybody's shinin' perfectly, moments in timing
PRE-CHORUS: repeat
CHORUS: repeat
SOLO: (it is quite random so use your imagination!)
*IT IS EASIER IF YOU USE THE "or" CHORDS AS THEY ARE ALL ON
ONE STRING DURING THE DECENDING PART OF THE SOLO*
If you don't want to drop tune, the D#5(2) can be played as
the two note diad.
G#5 A#5 D#5 D5 C5 A#
G#5 A#5 D#5(2)
BRIDGE:
(heavy FAST muting!)
D#5 A#5
If I talk you talk the words I say
C5 G5
Come back around a different way
D#5 A#5
The end is just a breath away
C5 G5
If you ain't got a weapon then you'll never get a say
CHORUS:
D#5 A#5
I need a holiday to blow you all away
C5 G5
lose all the stiffs in my parade
D#5 PAUSE ---------->
I need a holiday a nuclear holiday
C5 G5
just go anywhere i'll stay
*repeat chorus twice without the pause*
During the last two chorus' there is some strange chord being
contantly played in the backround. It doesn't alter the song much
so if you are a two piece have a widdle here!
So there it is. Please contact me with any comments,
suggestions etc.......
