We Are 138 chords by The Misfits

Song: We Are 138
	Band: Misfits
	CD: Collection II (It's probably on another CD but I'm not sure which)
	Written By: Glenn Danzig
	Tabbed and submitted By: Tennessee Grimes


There is a already a bass tab for this song which is correct, but the lines
were kind of screwed up, at least on my computer. Also beginning guitarists
might not realize that the guitar chords are the same as the bass notes, so I
thought I'd make it a little clearer. I also included the solo. Use plenty
of distortion.


Intro:

Hold this
chord for a while
  E \/          C  D
e-----------------------------------------|
b-----------------------------------------|
g--9--------9---9---9---9---5---7---------|     <---------Figure 1
d--9--------9---9---9---9---5---7---------|
a--7--------7---7---7---7---3---5---------|
e-----------------------------------------|

    We   are  ...

Repeat this riff without holding the first E chord. This isn't the exact
number of E chords so listen to the CD. Then do this:
  E  C    D     E
e----------------------------------------|
b----------------------------------------|
g---9---5-5-5-5-7-7-7-7-----9------------|
d---9---5-5-5-5-7-7-7-7-----9------------|   <------------Figure 2
a---7---3-3-3-3-5-5-5-5-----7------------|
e----------------------------------------|

  We arrrrrrrrrrrrrrre  ....

He's not screaming here it's just a long "are". On the second E chord (which
comes on the 8 of 138) the tempo picks up a lot. I think it is doubled. The
picking is all quick downstrokes. Figure 1 is repeated twice without vocals,
then Glenn comes in again and repeats the whole intro with the guitar faster.
At the end of this faster intro thing substitute in "eyes of tiger" for the
long "we are 138". That's the first verse, the next verse is different. It
looks like this:

Verse 2:

E
Do you think we're robot clean, ....

E   C      D        E
It is time to be an ...

Just play a lot of fast E chords for the first line. For the second repeat
figure 2. The next verse is the same for the guitar:

E
The pleasantries are gone We're ...

E   C    D   E
In the eyes ..

Now comes the solo. The rhythm guitar plays E under it:
                             b b b b
e-----12-----12-----12-----12-----12-----12--14-14-14-14-14-14-14-14-----|
b-12-----12-----12-----12-----12-----12----------------------------------|
g------------------------------------------------------------------------|
d------------------------------------------------------------------------|
a------------------------------------------------------------------------|
e------------------------------------------------------------------------|

The b stands for bend, and the number of times these notes are hit is not
exact so listen to the CD if you want to be exact. Repeat the whole intro
twice, but with the faster tempo. Then for the outro Glenn just yells 8, 8,
8, lots of times, the guitar chords get shorter, I think this is called
staccato or something. The guitar repeats figure 1. That's it. It's really
an easy song, most people will probably be able to figure it out just given
that the chords are E, C, and D. Send your corrections, info on raves in
