AIDS & Armageddon : guits 

 

This is the way I play it:
Explanation:  Let me clear this up right quick...
I do my tabs slightly different from the common 
method seen on here.  What?s different is the 
markings (or symbols) I use.  I do not use the 
regular symbols to note hammer-ons and pull-offs, 
nor do I use the regular symbols for bends and 
releases.  Here is how I do it:

BEND = B
RELEASE = R
BEND/RELEASE = B>R
BUT MOST IMPORTANT:
HAMMER-ON AND/OR PULL-OFF = ^

THAT?S THE WAY I DO IT ON ALL MY TABS...SO 
IF YOU COME ACROSS A SONG THAT SAYS ?TABBED 
BY:  C.L.M. (Muz1cFreak)?, YOU?LL KNOW 
THE SYMBOL/REPRESENTATIONS ARE DIFFERENT.  
IF YOU DON?T LIKE THAT METHOD, OR IF IT?S 
CONFUSING, LET ME KNOW AND I?LL FIX IT. 

O K...I figured this song out by ear...
then I decided to put it on here cuz there 
were not enough Fishbone Tabs out there...
so if you happen to see a Tab for this song 
somewhere else as Tabbed by someone else or 
in a magazine or something, its coincidental!  
This is the way I figured it out BY EAR!
 
Intro:

Hit ?A? chord and slide down...?On the one?...
Hit ?A? chord and slide down...?One more time huh?...
Hit ?A? chord and slide down...?Oh good God?...
Hit ?A? chord and slide down...?AAAAAAHHHHWWWWW?...

Then the main riff (a bluesy reggae type 
deal comes in):

E-----------------------------------------
B-8-----8---------------------------------
G-7b>r--7--5-7-5--------------------------
D----------------7--5-5-5^7-----5---------
A---------------------------5^7---3^5^3---
E---------------------------------------5-

(play that funky bluesy reggae thang 2 times)
(do the bend/release {or ?b>r?} quickly to get timing right) 

Hit ?A? chord and slide down...
	?I got six too many fingers?...
Hit ?A? chord and slide down...
	?And a sub-atomic coat?

Then play this bridge riff:

E-------------
B-------------
G-------------
D-------------
A-------------
E--0-3-5-3-0--

Then play the main riff once 

Hit ?A? chord and slide down...
	?took my baby out to dinner?...
Hit ?A? chord and slide down...
	?all she wanted was dope?...
Then play bridge riff
Then play main riff once...
	?and a fur coat?...
Hit ?A? chord and slide down...
	?way into the abortion?...
Hit ?A? chord and slide down...
	?babies just take hope?...
Then play bridge riff
Then play main riff once
Hit ?A? chord and slide down...
	?all you wanna do-oh?...
Hit ?A? chord and slide down...
	?sit around and mope?...
Then play bridge riff
Then play main riff once
Then it?s right To...

CHORUS:  ?Aids and Armageddon?...?Armageddon and Aids?
         ?I don?t wanna talk bout it?...
         ?I think I mighta got it?...
         ?Anyway I anyway I just got paid?...
         ?Armageddon and Aids?

(During the chorus this ska/reggae riff is played):
?C?--?D? OR you can do this:  ?G?--?D?
(Either way, just repeat it throughout chorus)
I think the chorus ends by hitting ?G? or ?A? three times

Then play bridge riff

Then play main riff 2 (two) times

Next verse is pretty much the same...
the ONLY difference is:  rather than just hitting the 
?A? chord and sliding down, you actually strum some 
chords, like so:

Palm mute:  A-A-G--A-A-G--A-A-G-A
(EVERYTHING ELSE ABOUT THE VERSE {INCLUDING 
STRUCTURE/TIMING} STAYS THE SAME)

The bridge (when Angelo sings: 
	 ...?oh-oh-oh Jesus...oh God...?):  
A--G-A--G-A-D-A (repeat/modify as needed)

The part where Angelo sings:  
	...?when I Found that she was in hiding, 
	      from the powers that be?...:

E---------|-----------|-----------|-------------|
B---------|-----------|-----------|-------------|
G---------|-----------|-----------|-------------|
D-------3-|-------3-5-|---------3-|---------3-5-|
A-----5---|-----5-----|-5-----5---|-5-----5-----|
E-3-5-----|-3-5-------|---3-5-----|---3-5-------|

Repeat as needed

Play the parts as/when needed
