                            RANCID - ROOTS RADICALS

                                  Guitar Tab

                               

  (Cross your fingers and hope that my mail program doesn't sucK)

  Ok, here's my tab.  I figured it out by listening to the CD and watching

  them play it on Saturday Night Live.  Here goes...

  

  CHORDS: (I put down three variations, on SNL, RAncid used mostly the open

  chords, but the powerchords are easier and sound just as good, if not

  better.  The other set of powerchords is an octave up <I think> and maybe

  you'd rather play it with them)  Standard Tuning (E,A,D,G,B,E - from bottom)

  VERSE

  C                 F

  Took the 60 bus, out of downtown Campbell

  G                      F            C

  Ben Zanotto he was on there he was waiting for me

  C                     F

  All the punk rockers and the moon stompers

  G                   F                  C

  were out on the corners where they're sparing for change

  C                      F

  I started thinkin, ya know I started drinkin

  G                   F             C

  I don't really remember too much of that day

  C                               F

  Something struck me funny when we ran out of money

  G             F                   C

  Where do you go now when you're only 15?

  

  CHORUS:

  G                                 F

  With the music execution and the talk of revolution

       D                D 

  It bleeds in me, and it goes...

  C                        F        G

  Give em the boot, the roots, the radicals

  C                     F          G

  Give em the boot, ya know I'm a radical

  C                        F         G        C

  Give em the boot, the roots, the reggae on my

  C             G G G G G G G

  stereo....

  

  VERSE 2 (Same chords)

  The radio was playing, Desmond Dekker was singing

  on the 43rd bus as we climbed up the hill

  nothing incoming but the reggae drumming

  and we all come from unloving homes

  I said "why even bother" and I picked up the bottle

  hey Mr. bus driver please let these people on

  rude girl carol was a miniskirt girl

  my blurry vision saw nothing wrong

  VERSE 3:

  

  Took the 60 bus out of downtown Campbell,

  Ben Zanotto he was on there he was waiting for me

  All the punk rockers, and the moon stompers

  were out on the corner where they're sparing for change

  I said the radio was playin, Desmond Dekker was singing

  on the 43rd bus as we climbed up the hill

  rude girl carol was a miniskirt girl, 

  my blurry vision saw nothing wrong

  

  CHORUS 

   

  OUTRO - This should be easy enough to figure out, all the same chords are used

  

  Well, that's what I got.  The solo isn't quite right, so if ya got something

  better, send it over.  Thanks, enjoy.

                                            10-4,

  Oh, one more thing.  Could you send me Missionary, Knowledge, and Sound

  System by OpIvy when you have time?  Thanks.

                                             10-4,

                                                 Jon
