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:
 F5           E5          Am             B
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.
F5               E5          Am        B
I'm watching you walk as ...

F5              E5           Am             B
Take that thing away from me ....

F5                 E5                      Am            B
I couldn't say I'd blame you or you ....

F5                 E5           Am               B
You wouldn't be to blame if you ...

CHORUS:
G              Am        B                   C
Hours slipping by as you ...

G                  Am         B            C
Now you're nothing more ....

G                    Am         B                C
The dark it turns to ....

        G        Am             B             C
Rolling with the tide I confide ....

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 ....

CHORUS:
All the things I haven't seen once the .....

SOLO:  Play the verse riff under any lead you'd like :)

OUTRO CHORUSES:
Another big explosion leaving you ....

REPEAT 2ND CHORUS

CONTINUE PLAYING CHORUS FIGURE:
Forming a ....

PLAY INTRO RIFF 4 TIMES
End on E5 chord.

   Well, this is how I play it..enjoy!
