BLUE COLLAR SUICIDE
By The Refreshments
from Fizzy Fuzzy Big & Buzzy
OK, the verse is almost entirely on E but it's mostly
a drums and bass thing except for Brian's teensy little fills.
Anyway, the main riff goes something like this with the rhythm
strumming an E the whole time:
E :---------------- ---------------- ---------------- ----------------
B :---------------- ---------------- ---------------- -5-4-2----------
G :---------------- ---------------- ---------------- -------4-2h4-2--
D :2--------------- --2------------- 2--------------- ---------------2
A :--2--0---0--2--- 2---2--0-------- --2--0----0--2-2 ----------------
E :-------4-------- ---------4-0---- --------4------- ----------------
Brian varies the little verse fills in every verse but to get started
use..
Natural harmonics...... and a gradual bend
E :-*12*---------------- ------------------
B :-*12*---------------- ------------------
G :--------------------- -9b---------------
But if I could You know I would
Run away
Right now! (get a nice big pick scrape going here)
CHORUS:
I can't sleep coz she snores like a chainsaw...
She can't count all the pills I took
SOLO (nice and easy for a change)
E:--------------------------------------
B:--------------------------------------
G:--------------------------2h4p2-1-2-1-
D:-2-1-----2-1--------2-1---------------
A:-----2-------2h4p2------4-------------
E:--------------------------------------
E:------------- ----------------X-X as
B:------------- ----------------X-X many
G:-----------2- ----------------X-X times
D:-2-1---2-4--- ----------------X-X as
A:-----2------- ----------------X-X needed...
E:------------- ----------------X-X
bass thing and
a bit of
E strumming
At the end as things get a little more psychotic just keep
pounding out E5, A5, D5 over and over until the cool wah/noise
ending.
You shouldn't have many problems figuring out the few couple of notes
that make up the verses, I just can't be stuffed writting it all down :)
Anyway, any comments or corrections or whatever would be cool.
