Song: It's Not Alright to Say Everything's Ok
Artist: Refused
Album: Songs to Fan the Flames of Discontent (track 6)
Label: Burning Heart

Tabbed By Edd Dawson. All my own work.
Questions? Comments? Corrections? Shout at me at ma0etd@bath.ac.uk

There seemed to be a distinct lack of Refused tabs at Olga so I thought
I'd tab out some of the ones I know.

Does anyone know how to play coup d'etat? If so PLEASE tell me, I can't
be bothered to work it out :)

This song is in standard tuning: EADGBe (low to high)

For this song use a lot of gain, a fair amount of treble and a lowish
to medium bass setting; you want quite an attacky sound.
You'll need to be able to chug pretty fast also to be able to play it
well. I'd tried to give some sort of indication of timing - don't know
how successful I was but you can't say I didn't try.

A bit of notation:

M = palm mute
/ \ = upward and downward slides respectively
. = truncate the note soon after playing it i.e do not let it ring out.
h = hammer on
p = pull off
