Chords with lyrics
"Roots Radical" - Rancid
I don't have time (or know) the lyrics of this song for posting, but the guitar part won't
be hard to figure out if you play it with the CD.
Verses:
(1'st verse is sharp and each chord is heard. The rest are played all down-stroke, punk
style.)
C majorC C 
FF F 
G+G FF C majorC C
Took the 6'th street bus... (?)
(The rest of the verses are also all C majorC FF G+G FF C majorC)
Lead in to Chorus:
G------ F------ D--------
(No idea of the lyrics)
Chorus:
C majorC FF G+G
Give 'em the boot, the roots, the radicals...
C majorC FF G+G
Give 'em the boot, you know I'm a radical
C majorC FF G+G
Give 'em the boot, (?)
C majorC G-G-G-G
...My stereo.
Bridge:
During the "yeah, yeah" part, it is an FF barre chord (2'nd family) played at the 8'th fret.
The little riff can be improvised out of a blues scale also at the 8'th fret. At the end of the
bridge (the word "yeah" is screamed), the chord switches to a G+G chord (2'nd family)
played at the 10'th fret.
Outro is the same as the chorus.
