THE ACT WE ACT by SUGAR
This is a pretty simple song from a rhythm point of view. I haven't
included any of the leads because I don't know them.

INTRO:
A--2h3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3|
E--0h1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1|
Play 8 times.

Verse riff:
F5 E5 Am B
e------------------------|---------------7-7-7-7-7-7-7|
B------------------------|---------------7-7-7-7-7-7-7|
G------------------------|-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-8-8-8-8-8-8-8|
D-3-----------2----------|-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-9-9-9-9-9-9-9|
A-3-3-3-3-3-3-2-2-2-2-2-2|-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-9-9-9-9-9-9-9|
E-1-1-1-1-1-1-0-0-0-0-0-0|-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-7-7-7-7-7-7-7|
Palm mute heavily For F5, and gradually ease it off through the riff.

F5 E5 Am B
Take that thing away from me ....

F5 E5 Am B
I couldn't say I'd blame you or you ....

F5 E5 Am B

CHORUS:
G Am B C
Hours slipping by as you ...

G Am B C
Now you're nothing more ....

G Am B C
The dark it turns to ....

G Am B C
Rolling with the tide I confide ....

I think that on the album, these are played as E-shape barre chords
(similar to the verse riff, but less restrained), but I play them as open
position chords to go easy on my left hand.

INTRO RIFF 4 TIMES

The other verses and choruses are played with the same riffs:

If affection holds you back then what is ....

CHORUS:
All the things I haven't seen once the .....

SOLO: Play the verse riff under any lead you'd like :)

OUTRO CHORUSES:
Another big explosion leaving you ....

REPEAT 2ND CHORUS

PLAY INTRO RIFF 4 TIMES
End on E5 chord.

Well, this is how I play it..enjoy!
