ALCOHOL
by the butthole surfers
tabbed by chris lawrence (mustang@islandnet.com)
The verse seems kind of random on the album. It's a little
more defined on live version. Something like this works:
E--------------------------------------|
B--------------------------------------|
G--2---------5-7b--0-----------3-3-----|
D--2-----5-7-------0-----3-5-5-----5~~-|
A--0--\7-----------2--\5---------------|
E------------------3-------------------|
With the appropriate Leary finger vibrato, bends, trem
bar action, etc.
Chorus:
E-----------------------------------------------------------------------------|
B-----------------------------------------------------------------------------|
G--7--7--7-7-7-7-7-5-3-3--3-3-3-3-3-2-----------------------9--9--9-5-5-5-5-4-|
D--7--7--7-7-7-7-7-5-3-3--3-3-3-3-3-2-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-8-9--9--9-5-5-5-5-4-|
A--5--5--5-5-5-5-5-3-1-1--1-1-1-1-1-0-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-8-7--7--7-3-3-3-3-2-|
E-------------------------------------3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-6-------------------|
and back to the A in the verse.
listen to the record to hear when to palm mute the chords.

E--------------------1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-----------3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3--3-|
And another verse, another chorus (short one, like the first), another
verse, another long chorus.
