Oasis

Oasis are a relitavely new UK band. Massivly popular and soon to be big

elsewhere. Hopefully I'll get some other stuff tabbed soon.



			Cigarettes and Alcohol

                                By Oasis



[Trans. I Lathwell]



This is how I think it sounds, but it is just from listening to the record

and so could well be wrong. If anyone has any comments then please send

them to me.



[Intro/E Riff]

The Intro and other E chord places is a riff that repeats between E and

Esus4 (002220), I think the rythmn is something like ||S|||S|||S|||S (With

S being the Sus4 chord)



Intro-

E/ESus4 F# A



Verse 1-

E                               F#            A                       E

Is it my imagination, or have I finally found something worth looking for,

E                                  F#              A                   E

I was looking for some action, but all I found was Cigarettes and Alcohol,



Chorus-

A                    E         A                         E

You could wait for a lifetime, to spend your days in the sunshine,

A                      E                         D

You might as well be a white lie, 'cause when it comes on top,   (???? Words)

A                 E       A                 E

You gotta make it happen, you gotta make it happen,   (X2)



D A E A E ... to solo



Verse 2-

Is it worth the agrivation, 

to find yourself a job when there's nothing worth working for,

It's a crazy situation, but all I need are Cigarettes and Alcohol,



Chorus-



Solo....



Ad lib and mess around bit-

E   A

    You gotta make it

E   A

    You gotta fake it

(X2)



Solo....end.



[A couple of riffs I picked out]



[Chorus Riff]            [Other Riff]  

------------------------|---------------------

------------------------|---------------------

-1--2--4--1-------------|-2--2--2--2--0-------

-------------4--2-------|----------------4--2-

------------------------|---------------------

------------------------|---------------------



That's all I got. I think listening to T Rex might be a good source for the

other Riffs in the song, as they all seem to be stolen from some song or

other.



[Note on pronounciation]

The way words are sung makes a big difference to this song, any word that

ends in tion, should be said 'sheeeon'. Sunshine is pronounced

'sonsheeeeine'.
