Rancid Avenues And Alleyways

Tom: C # Date: Sat, 22 Jun 1996 15:32:52 -0500 From: Christina Tanttari --------------------- Tabbed by Andy Amoeba This is just the rhythm guitar and bass part in the opening. Don't ask=20 me what the strummed riffs are because I don't know! (Hey I'm lazy. Sue=20 me!) and its punk rock we're talking about here, so the whole thing is power=20 chords! Listen to the CD for better timing... e: --= -| B: --= -| G:-7---7---7---7---7---7---7-\-5---5---5---5---5---5---5-----------------= -| D:-7---7---7---7---7---7---7-\-5---5---5---5---5---5---5----(repeat)-----= -| A:-5---5---5---5---5---5---5-\-3---3---3---3---3---3---3-----------------= -| E: --= -| I figured out the problem yeah the problem is you...=20 This is the chorus and once again, the lyrics and timing are a little=20 off in this tab (We're talking Microsloth EDIT here), so be sure to listen=20 to the song and perhaps play along. I'm a battering ram coming thru to you... in every alleyway and every avenue Oi! Oi! Oi! And that's basically the song. There are some parts which I left out (like the parts where they run the pick down the strings) but there's no need to be anal about it. =3DP Owell. Hope this helps, and I figured=20 this out the same day I bought the CD. =3D ) Take care, and happy playing. The complete lyrics are at the end of this document. (Notice the reference=20 to the songs "Battering Ram" off of the Lookout! 7" and "Black And Blue" from "Let's Go!") Avenues & Alleyways ------------------- I figured out the problem Yea, the problem is you You didn't see us comin' Now there's nothin' you can do Times are gonna change Change or step aside It's my point of view That took you by surprise The suns comin' up Yea the new dawn arrives A generation standing Stand with anger in their eyes No love in the city cause There's no connection Been stricken by a disease A racial infection Chorus: I'm a battering ram Comin' through to you In every alleyway And every avenue Actions could erase All the fear that we suffer People segregated No one understands each other He's a different color But we're the same kid I'll treat him like my brother He will treat me like his Well an eye for an eye Yea a tooth for a tooth Brother against brother Should be singin' with the group The inner cities burning Yea its screaming black and blue The power and the passion Of a million youth (Chorus) I figured out the problem Yea the problem is you You didn't see us comin' Now there's nothin you can do He's a different color But we're the same kid I'll treat him like my brother He'll treat me like his Of all the blood that spills Of all the guts that fly The media paints a picture That stains Pits dogs against cats Now who is responsible The power in the issue The force is unstoppable (Chorus x2) Questions, Comments, Suggestions, and Twinkies should be sent to: -=3D- bL=8DSTeR -=3D- Andy Amoeba Sucks To All The Censors, Politicians, and Wagon Jumpers Everywhere!
