xArtist: RANCID song: OLD FRIEND album: ...AND OUT COME THE WOLVES (1995) tabbed by: Koen Bussemaker (wierd name? This is DUTCH !) This is one of the best ska songs from Rancid. There were no complete tabs available on the net, so i decided to make my own. It's my FIRST tab, and i didn't spent much time on it cause i'm pretty lazy ^^ so don't spit on me and tell me that I suck, cause you'll be telling old news. But anyway, have a lot of fun with this tab =) ------------------------------------------------------------------- Standard EADGBE tuning Intro >> play 2 times, with distortion e| -------------------------------:-2--0-----2--0-----2--0-----2--0-| b| ----------- [ 3x ] ------------:---------------------------------| g| -------------------------------:---------------------------------| d| ------4-----4--4--4--4--2------:---------------------------------| a| ---------------------------4---:---------------------------------| e| -------------------------------:---------------------------------| and the other guitar plays these chords (ska strum pattern): e| -2-------------5---------------:-5--------------7---------------| b| -3-------------7---------------:-5--------------9---------------| g| -4-------------7---------------:-6--------------9---------------| d| -4-------------7---------------:-7--------------9---------------| a| -2-------------5---------------:-7--------------7---------------| e| -------------------------------:-5------------------------------| Chorus (ska strum pattern) >> play 4 times e| -5-----7-----9-----5-----| b| -5-----9-----10----7-----| g| -6-----9-----11----7-----| d| -7-----9-----11----7-----| a| -7-----7-----9-----5-----| e| -5-----------------------| Verse a little note: I know rancid has 2 guitarists, but my band has only one (me, duh). So i combined the little melodic thing and the ska chords. It resulted in this, it sounds pretty good: e| --------------------------------------------| b| -x-10-x-10-x-9--x-9--x-7--x-7--7-----7------| g| -x-9--x-9--x-9--x-9--x-6--x-6-----7-----7---| d| -x-7--x-7--x-9--x-9--x-4--x-4---------------| a| -----------x-7--x-7-------------------------| e| --------------------------------------------| Bridge Part 1 , add a small amount of distorion >> play 4 times e| ---------------------------------| b| ---------------------------------| g| --------------------------7~-----| d| -7~-----2~----------4~----7~-----| a| -7~-----2~----------4~----5~-----| e| -5~-----0~----------2~-----------| Bridge Part 2 - solo, with distortion. I think Tim is using his slide tube. >> the other guitar plays the same chords as in the chorus e| -/5-5-5-/5-5-5-/5-5-5---8---8---8----| b| -/5-5-5-/5-5-5-/5-5-5---7---7---7----| g| -------------------------------------| e| -/5-5-5-/5-5-5-/5-5-5-8---7---6------| b| -/5-5-5-/5-5-5-/5-5-5---7---7-5------| g| -------------------------------------| e| -/5-5-5-/5-5-5-/5-5-8--8--8--8--8--8-| b| -/5-5-5-/5-5-5-/5-5-7--7--7--7--7--7-| g| -------------------------------------| e| -/5-5-8---7-----------8---7----------------| b| -/5-5---7---7-----------7---7--------------| g| ---------------7--5------------7--5-7p5----| d| ----------------------------------------7--| ...oh and sorry if it isn't that correct, but it's getting late and i'm pretty lazy =) Ending - the powerchords with distortion at the end e| -----------------------------| b| -----------------------------| g| ---------------------7~------| d| -7~-----2~-----4~----7~----7-| a| -7~-----2~-----4~----5~----7-| e| -5~-----0~-----2~----------5-| SONG ORDER: -intro -chorus -verse -chorus -verse -chorus -intro -Brigde part 1 -Brigde part 2 -verse -chorus -verse + Ending Well that's it folks, enjoy it !
