Electricity

NOFX
Tab
★4.6(3)

This is tablature — fret positions rather than chord names. Wide lines scroll sideways on their own, so the page never does.

===============================================================================

The strumming amounts/ length mat be slightly off - but hey, if you use tabs

for the strumming pattern too then you want to be a bit more creative :P

Also, in the tab some bits like Main Riff and Main Riff 2 are very similar

but i've named them differently for the very small variations just in case

people are confused.

Lyrics:

One source of energy

The ultimate discovery

Electric blue for me

Never more to be free

Electricity

Nuclear and H.E.P

Carbon fuels from the sea

Wasted electricity

Hey Hey Hey Hey

Hey Hey Hey Hey

NO!

One source of energy

Electricity

All we need to live today

A gift for man to throw away

The chance has nearly gone

The alternative is one

Final source of energy

Solar electricity

Hey Hey Hey Hey

Hey Hey Hey Hey

Electricity

Electricity

Electricity

Electricity
