Whole song: Intro, Verse, Chorus, Verse, Chorus, Intro, Chorus, Intro, Chorus (or something like that) ___________________________________________________________________________ AVENUES AND ALLEYWAYS -Tablature This is just the rhythm guitar and bass part in the opening. Don't ask me what the strummed riffs are because I don't know! e:-----------------------------| B:-----------------------------| G:-7---7---5-------7---5-------| D:-7---7---5---5---7---5---5---| A:-5---5---3---5---5---3---5---| E:-------------3-----------3---| This is a pretty close approximation of the main riff. Hey, its Rancid and its punk rock we're talking about here, so the whole thing is power 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... This is the chorus and once again, the lyrics and timing are a little off in this tab, so be sure to listen to the song and perhaps play along. e:---------------------------------------------| B:---------------------------------------------| G:7-7-7-7-7-7-7--5-5-5-5-5-5-5-X--------------| D:7-7-7-7-7-7-7--5-5-5-5-5-5-5-X-5-5-5-5-5-5-5| A:5-5-5-5-5-5-5--3-3-3-3-3-3-3-X-5-5-5-5-5-5-5| E:------------------------------X-3-3-3-3-3-3-3| I'm a battering ram coming thru to you... e:---------------------------------------------| B:---------------------------------------------| G:7-7-7-7-7-7-7--5-5-5-5-5-5-5-X--------------| D:7-7-7-7-7-7-7--5-5-5-5-5-5-5-X-5-5-5-5-5-5-5| A:5-5-5-5-5-5-5--3-3-3-3-3-3-3-X-5-5-5-5-5-5-5| E:------------------------------X-3-3-3-3-3-3-3| in every alleyway and every avenue Oi!
