51st State tab by New Model Army

Tabs

This is the chords to 51st State of America from
the briliant White Coats EP and various other recordings.

This is basically very easy!! *Which probably explains how I figured it
out!!!*

 The chords are G+G A minorAm FF all the way through. However to get the NMA
sound the verses must be played using barre chords.

   G+G       A minorAm       FF

-----3--------------5-------------1--------
-----3--------------5-------------1--------
-----4--------------5-------------2--------
-----5--------------7-------------3--------
-----5--------------7-------------3--------
-----3--------------5-------------1--------

The changes are


G+G         A minorAm        f
Look out of you're window watch the sky......
  etc

Then for the chorus, the same chord progression is played but reverted
to basic chord formtion, i.e. major chords for a fuller sound with
more bass.

I play them like this

    G+G     A minorAm   FF
-------3---------0-------1--------
-------3---------1-------1--------
-------0---------2-------2--------
-------0---------2-------3--------
-------2---------0-------3--------
-------3---------0-------0--------


Changes are


       G+G  A minorAm    f
This is the  51st state ....

  etc


Listen to the song. It helps immemsely.
It sounds cool!!
