Blubber Boy chords by Regurgitator

There is definitely not enough stuff on these guys on the net.
Regurgitator is perhaps the best band Brisbane and Australia have seen
in a while.
I know a few of their better known songs, so here they are!!

Blubber Boy (Quan Yeomans)
by REGURGITATOR
from the LP "NEW"

There are two riffs in this song.

Riff 1. - A  F#

Riff 2. - F#  A  B


Riff 1 starts the song off and is played in the verses while
riff 2 is played in the choruses.


Riff 1 should be played in this manner:

      A                               F#
G-----------------------------------------------------
D-----7----7----7----5----5----7------4----4----4----4
A-----7----7----7----5----5----7------4----4----4----4
E-----5----5----5----5----5----5------2----2----0----2



It can also be played like this, but I find thid way more tricky:

      A                               F#
G-----2----2----2----2----2----2----------------------
D-----2----2----2----0----0----2------4----4----4----4
A-----0----0----0----0----0----0------4----4----4----4
E-------------------------------------2----2----0----2




Riff 2 is pretty much staight forward

      F#          A               B
G---------------------------------4----4----4
D-----4-----4-----7-----7----7----4----4----4
A-----4-----4-----7-----7----7----2----2----2
E-----2-----2-----5-----5----5---------------


The song is played as such:

Intro			Riff 1
Verses x 2		Riff 1 x 2
Chorus		Riff 2
Verses x 2		Riff 1 x 2
Chorus		Riff 2
Some weird stuff in the middle
Chorus x heaps	Riff 2 x heaps


When the verses are played twice, the first time is with no
distortion while the second time is with open distortion.

On the last line of the first verse each time the verses are played,
there is a variation: E  F  E.

The variation is played as such:

      E                               F         E
G-----------------------------------------------------
D-----2----2----2----2----2------2----3----3----2----2
A-----2----2----2----2----2------2----3----3----2----2
E-----0----0----0----0----0------0----1----1----0----0

Distortion is turned on at the beginning of the last line and left on
until the end of the chorus.



So now, here are the lyrics!!


CHORUS x 2

(Weird middle bit)

CHORUS x 2*

Rub me I'm your blubber boy x 12**


N.B.

*At the end of the second chorus, there is a prolonged "me"
at which the chord played is C, ie.:

      C
G-----5--
D-----5--
A-----3--
E--------


**Play riff 2 at the end.



That's all folks!!
