BLUE COLLAR SUICIDE
By The Refreshments
from Fizzy Fuzzy Big & Buzzy
tabbed by Fiona Davies [email protected]
OK, the verse is almost entirely on E but it’s mostly
a drums and bass thing except for Brian’s teensy little fills.
Anyway, the main riff goes something like this with the rhythm
strumming an E the whole time:
E :—————-|—————-|—————-|—————-|
B :—————-|—————-|—————-|-5-4-2———-|
G :—————-|—————-|—————-|——-4-2h4-2—|
D :2—————|—2————-|2—————|—————2|
A :—2—0—0—2—|2—2—0———|—2—0—-0—2-2|—————-|
E :——-4———|———4-0—-|———4——-|—————-|
Brian varies the little verse fills in every verse but to get started
use..
Natural harmonics…… and a gradual bend
E :-*12*—————-|——————|
B :-*12*—————-|——————|
G :———————|-9b—————|
PRE-CHORUS
F#m A

CHORUS:
E5 A5 D5
I can’t sleep coz she snores like a chainsaw…
E5 A5 D5 E5
She can’t count all the pills I took
E5, A5, D5
SOLO (nice and easy for a change)

^^^^^^^^^^^^^
bass thing and
a bit of
E strumming
At the end as things get a little more psychotic just keep
pounding out E5, A5, D5 over and over until the cool wah/noise
ending.
You shouldn’t have many problems figuring out the few couple of notes
that make up the verses, I just can’t be stuffed writting it all down 🙂
Anyway, any comments or corrections or whatever would be cool.
