Running Battle by Kasabian
Running Battle
It is basically based around two chords Am and C, but it starts off with a
single a note (7th Fret on the D string)
You can play it like this: (notes in brakets are optinal, this is really of an
for because on the record the guitar only really plays one note)
Am Cadd6 (the added 6th is the "A" held over)

There's loads of otehr sythns and stuff but thats essentially the guitar
Sounds good acoustic
All lyin' across the ground
Try not to make no sound
When two men goin' break ya down
Two men goin' break ya down, I breathe
All lyin' across the ground
Try not to make no sound
When two men goin' break ya down, I said
Two men goin' break ya down, I breathe
I take down what I need
Cause you know I need to breathe
I'm tired of walking on another plane
Another plane cause I feel insane, I
Step back to get to you
Cut back I'm fallin' through
Another day I feel the same
I'm cutting and I'm bleeding here with you
All lyin' across the ground
Try not to make no sound
When two men goin' break ya down
Two men goin' break ya down, I breathe
All lyin' across the ground
Try not to make no sound
When two men goin' break ya down, I said
Two men goin' break ya down, I breathe
So keep those voices down
Even if you don't make no sound
A thousand voices makin' all the mistakes
The fire escapes and this code must break
I
Step back to get to you
Cut back I'm fallin' through
Another day I feel the same
I'm cutting and I'm bleeding here with you
All lyin' across the ground
Try not to make no sound
When two men goin' break ya down, I said
Two men goin' break ya down, I breathe

version 2
The two chords used are A5 and F (though in the live version he plays an Am
instead of A5 where the riff would normally be, but I think the A5 works better in whole).

He uses a delay pedal, but since I don't have one, this is the general
pattern. It sounds good to hit the notes in parenthesis occasionally when
you're doing a solo guitar, or you could just strait up play the chords.
Riff (sounds good with lots of reverb and some flange)

He doesn't actually play the 1st fret on the E string but I like to use it
to keep the song in key while playing solo.
And no... I didn't have the patience to work out the synth 'solo', but I'm
fairly certain it's more or less an improv around Am pentatonic if you wanna have a go
Lastly! there's a little modified progression right after the synth solo
and right after the final chorus which goes:
