Cigarettes and Alcohol

[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 A You might as well be a white lie, 'cause when it comes on top, (???? Words) A E D A E You gotta make it happen, you gotta make it happen, D A E you gotta make it happen D A E you gotta make it happen E D A E D A ... 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'. --=====================_782068362==_ Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" Ian Lathwell - E-Mail : ilathwel@rpms.ac.uk /\ Computer Programmer / Advisor, Paediatric Dept, \_|/ Hammersmith Hospital | /-\ |/-\ 150 DuCane Road, Hammersmith, London, W12 0HS /-|-\ | | | | Tel No : 081 743 2030 Ext 4173 (Work) \_/ \ \_/\ | | Flat 9, 89 Church Road, Hanwell, London W7 3BH Tel No : 081 579 5051 (Home) **************************************************************************** --=====================_782068362==_-- From jason@ipaz.nn.argus.co.za Tue Mar 26 04:26:58 1996 Date: Tue, 26 Mar 1996 11:44:56 +0000 From: jason <jason@ipaz.nn.argus.co.za> To: patrick@spy.net Subject: Oasis Tablature [The following text is in the "iso-8859-1" character set] [Your display is set for the "US-ASCII" character set] [Some characters may be displayed incorrectly] Here is my ³intro & main riff for Cigarettes & Alcohol - oasis² hope it helps some!

The riff seems to carry on through most of the song with the second guitar going through this progression: Em F# A E The second guitar only starts the F#, A, E part after the riff has been played. The first guitar can play the whole thing if necessary just go staight from the riff into the F#, A, E part! Also try replacing the A & E chords with A5add9 & Em Here are the chords just in case...: Em - 022000 E - 022100 A - x02220 A5add9 - x02200 F# - 244322 Just listen to the song and it should slip into place somewhere!!! As usual I still have my crappy little acoustic so with enough distortion this should sound spot-on on an electric guitar. Thanks to Ian lathwal (ilathwel@rpms.ac.uk) who posted the tab above this tab works well with my little addition, I have based it on what he has writen so it should sound really good now. Sorry about all the text but I¹m rather new at this and need a little practice. Please bare with any mistakes as i am doing this all from memory! Hope this helps a bit! jason
