Band: Bad Religion
Album: The Empire Strikes First
Song: Social Suicide
I couldn't find a tab that sounded like the song on the cd. All the other tab seemed a
off so here one pretty close to how i played it when i did song with my friends band a
ago. I improvise a bit during the song with strum patters and fils but this is the basic parts of the song.
INTRO:
A \G A \G C G
| e | |
| B | |
| G | 555 555 | X2 |
| D | 777\55 777\55 555 5555 777\55 777\55 555 555. |
| A | 777\55 777\55 333 5555 777\55 777\55 333 555. |
| E | 555\33 555\33 3333 555\33 555\33 333. |
Verse:
The guitar playing the intro keeps doing this during the verse X2
The second guitar slides from a G chord in the intro and into this play:
(you can play both guitars the same way but since our second guitarist also is the lead
We did his verse-bit a little easier to play while holding the rythm of the singing)

CHORUS:

- This is how i play it and it sounds allright. There are no "correct" ways to tab a
but this is as close as it gets.
