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 ...

A#5 G5
I'm a loose conection ...


PRE-CHORUS:

C5 F5 G5 C5 G#5 A#5
A shallow feeling ...


CHORUS:

D# A#5
I need a holiday, ...
C5 G5
lose all the stiffs ...

D# A#5
I need a holiday...
C5 G5
just go ...


VERSE 2: (same as verse 1)


Fell on the outside, ...

And everybody's shinin' ...


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 ...

C5 G5
Come back ...

D#5 A#5
The end is ...

C5 G5
If you ain't got a ...


CHORUS:

D#5 A#5
I need a holiday ...
C5 G5
lose all the ...

D#5 PAUSE ---------->
I need a holiday ...
C5 G5
just go anywhere ...


*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.......
