		Avenues And Alleyways

!		This is just the rhythm guitar and bass part in the opening. Don't ask=20 me
!		what the strummed riffs are because I don't know! (Hey I'm lazy. Sue=20 me!)

		E:-------------3-----------3---|]
!		This is a pretty close approximation of the main riff. Hey, its Rancid=20 and
!		its punk rock we're talking about here, so the whole thing is power=20 chords!
!		Listen to the CD for better timing...

!		I figured out the problem yeah the problem is you...=20
!		This is the chorus and once again, the lyrics and timing are a little=20off
!		in this tab (We're talking Microsloth EDIT here), so be sure to listen=20 to
!		the song and perhaps play along.

		  in every alleyway and every avenue Oi! Oi! Oi!

!		And that's basically the song. There are some parts which I left out
!		(like the parts where they run the pick down the strings) but there's no
!		need to be anal about it. =3DP  Owell. Hope this helps, and I figured=20 this
!		out the same day I bought the CD. =3D) Take care, and happy playing. The
!		complete lyrics are at the end of this document. (Notice the reference=20 to
!		the songs "Battering Ram" off of the Lookout! 7" and "Black And Blue"
!		from "Let's Go!")

Text:		I figured out the problem
		Yea, the problem is you
		You didn't see us comin'
		Now there's nothin' you can do
		Times are gonna change
		Change or step aside
		It's my point of view
		That took you by surprise
		The suns comin' up
		Yea the new dawn arrives
		A generation standing
		Stand with anger in their eyes
		No love in the city cause
		There's no connection
		Been stricken by a disease
		A racial infection

Chorus:		I'm a battering ram
		Comin' through to you
		In every alleyway
		And every avenue
		Actions could erase
		All the fear that we suffer
		People segregated
		No one understands each other
		He's a different color
		But we're the same kid
		I'll treat him like my brother
		He will treat me like his
		Well an eye for an eye
		Yea a tooth for a tooth
		Brother against brother
		Should be singin' with the group
		The inner cities burning
		Yea its screaming black and blue
		The power and the passion
		Of a million youth

!		Chorus

		I figured out the problem
		Yea the problem is you
		You didn't see us comin'
		Now there's nothin you can do
		He's a different color
		But we're the same kid
		I'll treat him like my brother
		He'll treat me like his
		Of all the blood that spills
		Of all the guts that fly
		The media paints a picture
		That stains
		Pits dogs against cats
		Now who is responsible
		The power in the issue
		The force is unstoppable

!		Chorus } x2
