SONG: Cease
AUTHOR: Greg Graffin
ARTIST: Bad Religion
ALBUM: The Gray Race
YEAR: 1996
TABBED BY: The Jackal

I got an advance copy of Bad Religion's new album, "The Gray Race" (as
far as I know, it will be released March 5th). While this isn't (I guess)=

the easiest song on the album to figure out (especially lyric-wise) it's
the first one I've figured out so far, and IMHO one of the best, so
enjoy!
The lyrics are probably really screwed up by me, but from what I can make=

of 'em, they're some of Greg Graffin's best. Hey, the man has a Ph.D. for=

chrissakes!

Cease -- Bad Religion
Kind of an amend to my earlier tab

The way this sounds best is if you play it in E (power chords). Then the
intro is:
EED CCB. the basic chord pattern is E D C B (Black top pavement...) When
it goes "Shakes the leaves off of..." C D B, and "Violently" is C B A.
"Everything must cease" is E D C ... D E.
If that's a little hard to understand, listen to the album. E. Hulka
