 BLUE COLLAR SUICIDE 
 By The Refreshments 
 from Fizzy Fuzzy Big & Buzzy 
  
 tabbed by Fiona Davies aussie_ducky@bigfoot.com 
  
 OK, the verse is almost entirely on E but it's mostly 
 a drums and bass thing except for Brian's teensy little fills. 
  
 Anyway, the main riff goes something like this with the rhythm 
 strumming an E the whole time: 
  
 E :----------------|----------------|----------------|----------------| 
 B :----------------|----------------|----------------|-5-4-2----------| 
 G :----------------|----------------|----------------|-------4-2h4-2--| 
 D :2---------------|--2-------------|2---------------|---------------2| 
 A :--2--0---0--2---|2---2--0--------|--2--0----0--2-2|----------------| 
 E :-------4--------|---------4-0----|--------4-------|----------------| 
  
  
 Brian varies the little verse fills in every verse but to get started 
 use.. 
  
 Natural harmonics......  and a gradual bend 
 E :-*12*----------------|------------------| 
 B :-*12*----------------|------------------| 
 G :---------------------|-9b---------------| 
  
 PRE-CHORUS 
  
 F#m      A

 E   Esus4 E

 E 
 Right now! (get a nice big pick scrape going here) 
  
 CHORUS: 
  
 E5       A5  D5 
 I can't sleep coz she snores like a chainsaw... 
  
 E5    A5  D5 E5

 E5, A5, D5

          ^^^^^^^^^^^^^ 
                 bass thing and 
   a bit of 
   E strumming 
  
 At the end as things get a little more psychotic just keep 
 pounding out E5, A5, D5 over and over until the cool wah/noise 
 ending. 
  
 You shouldn't have many problems figuring out the few couple of notes 
 that make up the verses, I just can't be stuffed writting it all down :) 
  
 Anyway, any comments or corrections or whatever would be cool.
