  Avenues And Alleyways

  ---------------------

  Tabbed by Andy Amoeba (blister@ingress.com)

  

  This is just the rhythm guitar and bass part in the opening. Don't ask=20

  me

  what the strummed riffs are because I don't know! (Hey I'm lazy. Sue=20

  me!)

  

  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=20

  and

  its punk rock we're talking about here, so the whole thing is power=20

  chords!

  Listen to the CD for better timing...

     I figured out the problem   yeah  the  problem is you...=20

  

  

  This is the chorus and once again, the lyrics and timing are a little=20

  off

  in this tab (We're talking Microsloth EDIT here), so be sure to listen=20

  to

  the song and perhaps play along.

  E:------------------------------X-3-3-3-3-3-3-3|

    in every alleyway and every avenue Oi! Oi! Oi!

  

  And that's basically the song. There are some parts which I left out

  (like the parts where they run the pick down the strings) but there's no

  need to be anal about it. =3DP  Owell.  Hope this helps, and I figured=20

  this

  out the same day I bought the CD. =3D)  Take care, and happy playing. The

  complete lyrics are at the end of this document. (Notice the reference=20

  to

  the songs "Battering Ram" off of the Lookout! 7" and "Black And Blue"

  from "Let's Go!")

  

  Avenues & Alleyways

  -------------------

  I figured out the problem

  Yea, the problem is you

  You didn't see us comin'

  Now there's nothin' you can do

  Times are gonna change

  Change or step aside

  It's my point of view

  That took you by surprise

  

  The suns comin' up

  Yea the new dawn arrives

  A generation standing

  Stand with anger in their eyes

  No love in the city cause

  There's no connection

  Been stricken by a disease

  A racial infection

  

  Chorus:

  I'm a battering ram

  Comin' through to you

  In every alleyway

  And every avenue

  

  Actions could erase

  All the fear that we suffer

  People segregated

  No one understands each other

  He's a different color

  But we're the same kid

  I'll treat him like my brother

  He will treat me like his

  

  Well an eye for an eye

  Yea a tooth for a tooth

  Brother against brother

  Should be singin' with the group

  The inner cities burning

  Yea its screaming black and blue

  The power and the passion

  Of a million youth

  

  (Chorus)

  

  I figured out the problem

  Yea the problem is you

  You didn't see us comin'

  Now there's nothin you can do

  He's a different color

  But we're the same kid

  I'll treat him like my brother

  He'll treat me like his

  

  Of all the blood that spills

  Of all the guts that fly

  The media paints a picture

  That stains

  Pits dogs against cats

  Now who is responsible

  The power in the issue

  The force is unstoppable

  

  (Chorus x2)
