Nuclear Holiday 3 Colours Red
Taken from the album "Pure" (CRECD208)
words & music by (McCormack/Vuckovic)
published in UK by Creation Records Ltd.
This is my first tab posting so I hope you people like it! It is a
fairly simple song to play, just a bunch of chords played through
heavy distortion with liberal amounts of palm muting which is SO
effective!
All chords are ACTUAL notes for a 1/2 tone drop tuning so most can
be played on a normal tuned guitar if shifted down a semi-tone
(1 fret).
The chords used are:
[E] [A] [D] [G] [B] [E]
A#5 7 9 9 x x x or x 2 4 4 x x
G5 4 5 5 x x x
C5 x 4 5 5 x x
F5 2 5 5 x x x
G#5 5 7 7 x x x or x 0 2 2 x x
D#5 x 7 9 9 x x
D5 x 6 8 8 x x
D#5(2) 0 2 2 x x x (or if you don't detune x 1 1 x x x )
*ALL CHORDS ARE PALM MUTED UNLESS STATED OTHERWISE*
VERSE 1:
(For the first section, Pete plays the bass only, but guitar can be
added by hitting the A# note on the 7th fret of the bass E string
fast)
A# bass note ---------------------------> G5
I had the best intentions yeah honestly I paid attention
[Bb5]I'm a loose conection so promise me [G5]a soft injection
PRE-CHORUS:
[C5]A shallow feeling [F5] [G5] [C5] defies meani[Ab5]ng[Bb5]
CHORUS:
[Eb]I need a holiday,[Bb5] to blow you all away,
[C5]lose all the stiffs in my para[G5]de
[Eb]I need a holiday[Bb5], a nuclear holiday,
[C5]just go anywhere I'll st[G5]ay
VERSE 2: (same as verse 1)
Fell on the outside, where givin' in comes in like the tide
And everybody's shinin' perfectly, moments in timing
PRE-CHORUS: repeat
CHORUS: repeat
SOLO: (it is quite random so use your imagination!)
*IT IS EASIER IF YOU USE THE "or" CHORDS AS THEY ARE ALL ON
ONE STRING DURING THE DECENDING PART OF THE SOLO*
If you don't want to drop tune, the D#5(2) can be played as
the two note diad.
[Ab5] [Bb5] [Eb5] [D5] [C5] [Bb]
[Ab5] [Bb5] [Eb5(2)]
BRIDGE:
(heavy FAST muting!)
[Eb5]If I talk you talk the [Bb5]words I say
[C5]Come back around a diff[G5]erent way
[Eb5]The end is just a b[Bb5]reath away
[C5]If you ain't got a weapon then you'll ne[G5]ver get a say
CHORUS:
[Eb5] I need a holiday [Bb5] to blow you all away
[C5] lose all the stiffs in my pa[G5]rade
D#5 PAUSE ---------->
I need a holiday a nuclear holiday
[C5] just go anywhere i'll st[G5]ay
*repeat chorus twice without the pause*
During the last two chorus' there is some strange chord being
contantly played in the backround. It doesn't alter the song much
so if you are a two piece have a widdle here!
So there it is. Please contact me with any comments,
suggestions etc.......
