Chords with lyrics
THE ACT WE ACT by SUGAR This is a pretty simple song from a rhythm point of view. I haven't included any of the leads because I don't know them. INTRO: A--2h3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3| E--0h1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1| Play 8 times. Verse riff: F5F5 E5E5 A minorAm BB e------------------------|---------------7-7-7-7-7-7-7| B------------------------|---------------7-7-7-7-7-7-7| G------------------------|-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-8-8-8-8-8-8-8| D-3-----------2----------|-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-9-9-9-9-9-9-9| A-3-3-3-3-3-3-2-2-2-2-2-2|-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-9-9-9-9-9-9-9| E-1-1-1-1-1-1-0-0-0-0-0-0|-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-7-7-7-7-7-7-7| Palm mute heavily For F5, and gradually ease it off through the riff. F5F5 E5E5 A minorAm BB I'm watching you walk as you walk that distant way F5F5 E5E5 A minorAm BB Take that thing away from me take away most everything F5F5 E5E5 A minorAm BB I couldn't say I'd blame you or you should never look in back F5F5 E5E5 A minorAm BB You wouldn't be to blame if you couldn't take it back CHORUS: G+G A minorAm BB C majorC Hours slipping by as you watch the worlds collide G+G A minorAm BB C majorC Now you're nothing more than another passerby G+G A minorAm BB C majorC The dark it turns to light in a distant flash of night G+G A minorAm BB C majorC Rolling with the tide I confide the act we wear it thin again I think that on the album, these are played as E-shape barre chords (similar to the verse riff, but less restrained), but I play them as open position chords to go easy on my left hand. INTRO RIFF 4 TIMES The other verses and choruses are played with the same riffs: If affection holds you back then what is left to hold If I could find the answer to that question then I'd know The thoughts that clutter up your mind and leave me feeling drained And walking pacing up the walls across the floor again CHORUS: All the things I haven't seen once the final curtain has been raised The act we act is wering thin the act we act we under my skin The words the words we said goodbye the words left choking in my mind The act we act is wering thin I think we wear it out again SOLO: Play the verse riff under any lead you'd like :) OUTRO CHORUSES: Another big explosion leaving you hoping That something that once held you down could leave you feeling on the ground The confusion that persists decisions that you guessed The one to stay and watch this the one you might have missed REPEAT 2ND CHORUS CONTINUE PLAYING CHORUS FIGURE: Forming a conclusion And you're left standing PLAY INTRO RIFF 4 TIMES End on E5E5 chord. Well, this is how I play it..enjoy! *************************************************************************** Tablature provided by....THE INEVITABLE MIKE LACH Questions, comments, complaints, frustrations?
