Cigarettes and Alcohol

[Trans. I Lathwell] ilathwel@rpms.ac.uk This is how I think it sounds, but it is just from listening to the record and so could well be wrong. If anyone has any comments then please send them to me. [Intro/E Riff] The Intro and other E chord places is a riff that repeats between E and Esus4 (002220), I think the rythmn is something like ||S|||S|||S|||S (With S being the Sus4 chord) Intro- E/ESus4 F# A Verse 1- E F# A E Is it my imagination, or have I finally found something worth looking for, E F# A E I was looking for some action, but all I found was Cigarettes and Alcohol, Chorus- A E A E You could wait for a lifetime, to spend your days in the sunshine, A E D You might as well be a white lie, 'cause when it comes on top, (???? Words) A E A E You gotta make it happen, you gotta make it happen, (X2) D A E A E ... to solo Verse 2- Is it worth the agrivation, to find yourself a job when there's nothing worth working for, It's a crazy situation, but all I need are Cigarettes and Alcohol, Chorus- Solo.... Ad lib and mess around bit- E A You gotta make it E A You gotta fake it (X2) Solo....end. [A couple of riffs I picked out] [Chorus Riff] [Other Riff] ------------------------|--------------------- ------------------------|--------------------- -1--2--4--1-------------|-2--2--2--2--0------- -------------4--2-------|----------------4--2- ------------------------|--------------------- ------------------------|--------------------- That's all I got. I think listening to T Rex might be a good source for the other Riffs in the song, as they all seem to be stolen from some song or other. [Note on pronounciation] The way words are sung makes a big difference to this song, any word that ends in tion, should be said 'sheeeon'. Sunshine is pronounced 'sonsheeeeine'.
