 SET THE HOUSE ABLAZE
 (Paul Weller)
 
 This looks very complicated to understand cos I can't include lyrics but 
 it's very easy and there's a basic
 chord summary at the end. If you listen to the record
 you can place all the bits together.

 Bm:   x24432
 G:    320033
 Eb:   xx5343
 Cm:   x35543
 D:    xx0232
 F#m:  244222
 C#m:  x46654

 Intro:

 RIFF 1
 
 N.C.

 The seventh time this riff is played guitar 2 comes in with a single chord:
 
 Guitar 2:

 Verse One (repeat riff 1 throughout)
 
       Bm <--------------------(riff 2)

 The chords for the verse are Bm and G - the G is implied by the bass.
 
 Chorus
 
                                                        Eb                          Cm

  Something you ...
 
 Back to riff one (x12)
 
 Verse two
      (Bm)
 'You was so open-minded...
 Repeat riff one throughout (there is no guitar slash
 at the start of this verse)
 
 Middle eight:
 The middle eight is in two sections:
 Here you play the chords:
 
   F#m                     C#m        (x4)
 I think we've lost our perception... etc.
 
 Third time:
 
   C#m
 
 --4--4-----
 --5--5-----
 --6--6-----
 --6--6-----
 --4--4-----
 --------x\ (scrape plectrum down string quickly)
 ..reason...
 
   D                   C#m           A          (x3)
 I wish that there was something.....do about it...
 
 Repeat chorus.
 
 Break:
 
 Bm          G
 --2--|-----|--3--|-----|
 --3--|-----|--3--|-----|
 --4--|-----|--0--|-----| (x2)
 --4--|-----|--2--|-----|     
 -----|-----|--3--|-----|
 
 second time you play G - flick the rhythm/treble switch very quickly.
 
 Then play this riff x6 during the indechipherable spoken part.
 
   Bm             G  G/F#
 --2--------------------
 --3--------------------
 --4-------------------- 
 --4--------0--2--------
 -----2--4--------------
 -----------------3--2--
 
 Note: 5th time the there is a pinch harmonic (?)on the
       7th fret instead of a Bm chord.
 
 Then play Riff 1 x 4 and repeat the chorus
 
 Chorus.
 
 Coda:
 Riff 1 is played around 20 times then after about 15
 times a rhythm guitar comes in playing Bm G G/F#
 and the riff dissapears in the mix and then drops out.
 Before coming back along with the rhythm guitar and it's continued until 
 the song ends on Bm.
 
 So, a brief summary is
 
 Intro: Bm G (x6)
 
 Verse: Bm G (x3)
 
 Chorus: Eb Cm (x3) D
 
 Verse two: Bm G (x2)
 
 Middle eight: F#m C#m (x4) D C#m A (x2) A
 
 Chorus: as chorus 1
 
 Break: Bm G (x2) 
 
 Spoken bit: Bm G G/F# (x6)
 
 Chorus: as chorus 1
 
 Coda: Bm G G/F# to end.
                   
 I hope you understand - if I'm completely wrong please
