 Avenues And Alleyways
 ---------------------
 Tabbed by Andy Amoeba (blister@ingress.com)
 This is just the rhythm guitar and bass part in the opening. Don't ask=20
 me
 what the strummed riffs are because I don't know! (Hey I'm lazy. Sue=20
 me!)

 G:-7---7---5-------7---5-------|
 D:-7---7---5---5---7---5---5---|
 A:-5---5---3---5---5---3---5---|
 E:-------------3-----------3---|
 
 
 This is a pretty close approximation of the main riff. Hey, its Rancid=20
 and
 its punk rock we're talking about here, so the whole thing is power=20
 chords!
 Listen to the CD for better timing...

 This is the chorus and once again, the lyrics and timing are a little=20
 off
 in this tab (We're talking Microsloth EDIT here), so be sure to listen=20
 to
 the song and perhaps play along.

   in every alleyway and every avenue Oi! Oi! Oi!
 
 And that's basically the song. There are some parts which I left out
 (like the parts where they run the pick down the strings) but there's no
 need to be anal about it. =3DP  Owell.  Hope this helps, and I figured=20
 this
 out the same day I bought the CD. =3D)  Take care, and happy playing. The
 complete lyrics are at the end of this document. (Notice the reference=20
 to
 the songs "Battering Ram" off of the Lookout! 7" and "Black And Blue"
 from "Let's Go!")
 
 Avenues & Alleyways
 -------------------
 I figured out the problem
 Yea, the problem is you
 You didn't see us comin'
 Now there's nothin' you can do
 Times are gonna change
 Change or step aside
 It's my point of view
 That took you by surprise
 
 The suns comin' up
 Yea the new dawn arrives
 A generation standing
 Stand with anger in their eyes
 No love in the city cause
 There's no connection
 Been stricken by a disease
 A racial infection
 
 Chorus:
 I'm a battering ram
 Comin' through to you
 In every alleyway
 And every avenue
 
 Actions could erase
 All the fear that we suffer
 People segregated
 No one understands each other
 He's a different color
 But we're the same kid
 I'll treat him like my brother
 He will treat me like his
 
 Well an eye for an eye
 Yea a tooth for a tooth
 Brother against brother
 Should be singin' with the group
 The inner cities burning
 Yea its screaming black and blue
 The power and the passion
 Of a million youth
 
 (Chorus)
 
 I figured out the problem
 Yea the problem is you
 You didn't see us comin'
 Now there's nothin you can do
 He's a different color
 But we're the same kid
 I'll treat him like my brother
 He'll treat me like his
 
 Of all the blood that spills
 Of all the guts that fly
 The media paints a picture
 That stains
 Pits dogs against cats
 Now who is responsible
 The power in the issue
 The force is unstoppable
 
 (Chorus x2)
