"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 C F F G F C C Took the 6'th street bus... (?) (The rest of the verses are also all C F G F C)
Lead in to Chorus: G------ F------ D-------- (No idea of the lyrics) Chorus: C F G Give 'em the boot, the roots, the radicals... C F G Give 'em the boot, you know I'm a radical C F G Give 'em the boot, (?) C G-G-G-G ...My stereo. Bridge: During the "yeah, yeah" part, it is an F 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 chord (2'nd family) played at the 10'th fret. Outro is the same as the chorus.
