"And out come the wolves"
Roots Radicals
! 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 2: 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

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
on the 43rd bus as we climbed up the hill
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.
-
! I don't have time (or know) the lyrics of
! this song for posting, but the guitar part won't
! be hard to figure out if you play it with the CD.
! Verses:
! (1'st verse is sharp and each chord is heard.
! The rest are played all down-stroke, punk style.)
> C C F F G F C C
Took the 6'th street bus... (?)
! (The rest of the verses are also all <C F G F C>)
! Lead in to Chorus:
> G------ F------ D--------
! (No idea of the lyrics)
> C F G
Chorus: Give 'em the boot, the roots, the radicals...
> C F G
Give 'em the boot, you know I'm a radical
> C F G
Give 'em the boot, (?)
> C G-G-G-G
...My stereo.
! Bridge:
! During the "yeah, yeah" part, it is an <F> barre
! chord (2'nd family) played at the 8'th fret.
! The little riff can be improvised out of a blues
! scale also at the 8'th fret.
! At the end of the bridge (the word "yeah" is screamed),
! the chord switches to a <G> chord (2'nd family)
! played at the 10'th fret.
! Outro is the same as the chorus.
-
! When I first tabbed this, I did it from an early version of it that was
! released as an addition to Let's Go. The version that is on "Wolves" is
! almost the same, except that all the chords are 1/2 step higher. Here
! are the lyrics:
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,
Are out on the corner where they're sparing for change.
I started thinkin'
You know I started drinkin'
I don't remember too much of that day.
Something struck me funny when we ran out of money,
Where do you go now when your only 15?
With the music exectution and the talk of revolution
It bleeds in me...And it goes-
Give em the boot,
The roots, the radicals.
Give em the boot,
You know I'm a radical.
Give em the boot,
The roots the reggae on my stereo.
The radio was playin'
Desmon Dekker was singin'
On the 43'd bus as we climb up the hill.
Nothing incomin' but the reggae drummin'
And we all come from unloving homes.
Why even bother,
I pick up the bottle.
Hey Mr. Bus driver let these people on.
Rude girl Carol was a mini-skirt girl,
My blurry vision saw nothing wrong.
