C (PM) Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha! I didn't put the rhythem for the intro because it should be pretty easy to figure out. The C chord is palm muted during the laughter. This next part is rhythem figure 1, and is used quite a bit in the song. A is just the opened fifth string. q means quarter note and e means eighth note. C A C A C A C FI Em |e e e e e e e e | e e e e q q | I am an antichrist and I am an anarchist. Don't know what I want but I know how to get it. I wanna destroy passers-by 'cause Each of the above lines represents two measures. Play rhythem figure 1 for the first three lines, and just hit eighth note C chords for the last line. The music continues by repeating the intro, rhythem figure 1 once, a measure of eighth note C chords (No dogs body!), a measure of eighth note G chords, and then back to rhythem figure 1 for the second verse. I I wanna be anar- chy! No dogs body! (?) Anarchy for the U. K. is coming sometime maybe. I'll give the wrong time, stop a traffic line. Your future dream is a shopping scheme 'cause I I wanna be anar- chy! In the city! For the 11 measure guitar solo there is a background guitar which plays a simple eighth note rhythem. The rhythem guitar slides between every chord change. Each of the 11 measures only uses one chord per measure, so here they are in the order they appear: Dm EmVII Dm EmVII Dm EmVII Dm G G GIII GIII The guitar solo goes like this: E|-----12-----------------|-----14-------------------| B|-/13----13----------13/-|-/15----15------15----11/-| G|-----------14~------14/-|-/16-------16~--16-16-12/-| D|------------------------|--------------------------| A|------------------------|--------------------------| E|------------------------|--------------------------| E|-----12-----------------|-----14-------------------| B|-/13----13-------13-----|--------15------------11/-| G|-/14-------14~---14-14/-|-/16-------16~--16\10-12/-| D|------------------------|--------------------------| A|------------------------|--------------------------| E|------------------------|--------------------------| E|-----12-----------------|-----14-------------------| B|-/13----13-------13-13/-|-/15----15------15\---11/-| G|-/14-------14~---14-14/-|-/16-------16~--16\---12/-| D|------------------------|--------------------------| A|------------------------|--------------------------| E|------------------------|--------------------------| E|-----12--------------------|-----------------------| B|-/13----13-------13-13\----|----8-8~--/13----13-13-| G|-/14-------14~---14-14\----|----7-7~------14-14-14-| D|------------------------7/-|-/9--------------------| A|---------------------------|-----------------------| E|---------------------------|-----------------------| E|------------------------------|-----------------|------------------| B|-13-15-15-15~-----------------|-----5-3-5-3-----|-/3-----5-5-5-5---| G|-14-16-16-16~-(16)/19-19\-0-4-|-5-7-5-4-5-4-0---|-/4-0---5-5-5-5---| D|--------------------------0---|---------------0-|------0-----------| A|------------------------------|-----------------|----------------0-| E|------------------------------|-----------------|------
