TAB Key
--------
/ - slide up
\ - slide down
X - mute with palm of picking hand
U - upstroke
D - downstroke
() - incidental note
~ - hold note
harm - harmonic
rake - exagerate the strumming of the chord
(but not enough for it to be an arpeggio)
Notes
------
This song is in 4/4 time, and uses 2 Guitars.
The intro voicings are based on an open A-shape, slid up and down
the neck. The scraping noises are achieved by scraping the plectrum
up and down the strings. The guitar sound (for Guitar1) is slightly
distorted - too much distortion will make this section 'mushy'.
The verses are made up of 2 guitar parts. Guitar1 plays partial bar
chords, based upon the open A-shape, at the 3rd and 5th positions.
Guitar2 plays muted root notes and power chord versions of the bar
chords, based upon the open E-shape, at the 8th and 10th frets.
The choruses consist of power chords and a 5 bar riff.
The bridge makes extensive use of Bar chords. Verticle lines above
the TAB stave show the rhythm pattern used.
The picking patterns in the bridge, bars 10-17, are based around the
moveable E-shape at the 8th and 10th frets. This has been shown as a
2 guitar part, because of the way the notes are allowed to ring over
each other - it is possible to approximate this part with one Guitar.
The noise section lasts 38 bars and is a more extreme version of the
intro. I haven't tabbed it out, but use the Intro as a guide to what
you could do here. Use plenty of string scrapes, and also the pickup
selector to switch between pickups, creating a rhythmic effect.
The outro is based on bars 3 and 4 of the chorus - but played in a
staccato style.

The rest is just noise!
Sup up your beer and collect your fags
There's a row going on down near slough
Get out your mat and pray to the west
I'll get out mine and pray for myself
Thought you were smart when you took them on
But you didn't take a peep in their artillery room
All that rugby puts hairs on your chest
What chance have you got against a tie and a crest?
Hello-hooray, what a nice day, for the Eton rifles, Eton rifles
Hello-hooray, I hope rain stops play, with the Eton rifles, Eton rifles
Thought you were clever when you lit the fuse
Tore down the house of commons in your brand new shoes
Compose a revolutionary symphony
Then went to bed with a charming young thing
Hello-hooray, cheers then mate, its the Eton rifles, Eton rifles
Hello-hooray, an extremist scrape, with the Eton rifles, Eton rifles
What a catalyst you turned out to be
Loaded the guns then you run off home for your tea
Left me standing, like a guilty schoolboy
What a catalyst you turned out to be
Loaded the guns then you run off home for your tea
Left me standing, like a naughty schoolboy

Beaten and bloody and I was sick down my shirt
