                           RANCID - ROOTS RADICALS
                                 Guitar Tab
                              
 (Cross your fingers and hope that my mail program doesn't sucK)
 Ok, here's my tab.  I figured it out by listening to the CD and watching
 them play it on Saturday Night Live.  Here goes...
 
 CHORDS: (I put down three variations, on SNL, RAncid used mostly the open
 chords, but the powerchords are easier and sound just as good, if not
 better.  The other set of powerchords is an octave up  and maybe
 you'd rather play it with them)  Standard Tuning (E,A,D,G,B,E - from bottom)

 VERSE
 C                 F
 Took the 60 bus, out of downtown Campbell
 G                      F            C
 Ben Zanotto he was on there he was waiting for me
 C                     F
 All the punk rockers and the moon stompers
 G                   F                  C
 were out on the corners where they're sparing for change
 C                      F
 I started thinkin, ya know I started drinkin
 G                   F             C
 I don't really remember too much of that day
 C                               F
 Something struck me funny when we ran out of money
 G             F                   C
 Where do you go now when you're only 15?
 
 CHORUS:
 G                                 F
 With the music execution and the talk of revolution
      D                D 
 It bleeds in me, and it goes...
 C                        F        G
 Give em the boot, the roots, the radicals
 C                     F          G
 Give em the boot, ya know I'm a radical
 C                        F         G        C
 Give em the boot, the roots, the reggae on my
 C             G G G G G G G
 stereo....
 
 VERSE 2 (Same chords)
 The radio was playing, Desmond Dekker was singing
 on the 43rd bus as we climbed up the hill
 nothing incoming but the reggae drumming
 and we all come from unloving homes
 I said "why even bother" and I picked up the bottle
 hey Mr. bus driver please let these people on
 rude girl carol was a miniskirt girl
 my blurry vision saw nothing wrong
 
 CHORUS 
 
 BRIDGE:
 F

 VERSE 3:
 
 Took the 60 bus out of downtown Campbell,
 Ben Zanotto he was on there he was waiting for me
 All the punk rockers, and the moon stompers
 were out on the corner where they're sparing for change
 I said the radio was playin, Desmond Dekker was singing

 rude girl carol was a miniskirt girl, 
 my blurry vision saw nothing wrong
 
 CHORUS 
  
 OUTRO - This should be easy enough to figure out, all the same chords are used
 
 Well, that's what I got.  The solo isn't quite right, so if ya got something
 better, send it over.  Thanks, enjoy.
                                           10-4,

 Oh, one more thing.  Could you send me Missionary, Knowledge, and Sound
 System by OpIvy when you have time?  Thanks.
                                            10-4,
