I WANNA RIOT - Rancid

Transcribed by: Danny Fear

I found that the version of this song already on OLGA to be completely

wrong (maybe I'm both crazy and stupid). Anyway this is a version that

I know works. I tabbed the first part, but then I got fed up with it. The

rest of the song uses either of the three chord "sets" that I tabbed in

the beginning.

Intro:

My way: (sounds good when you play alone)

D F G D D F G __

e|--2----1----3------2--2----1----3----|	        |
B|--3----1----3------3--3----1----3----|	        |
G|--2----2----4------2--2----2----4----|	        |
D|--0----3----5------0--0----3----5----| rep. (xtimes)  |
A|-------------------------------------|	        |
E|-------------------------------------|	        |

|

Probably the right way: |

e|-------------------------------------|	        |
B|-------------------------------------|	        |
G|--11---14---16-----11-11---14---16---|	         \
D|--12---15---17-----12-12---15---17---| rep. (xtimes)    > Same thing
A|--12---15---17-----12-12---15---17---|		 /
E|--10---13---15-----10-10---13---15---|	        |

|

Alternate right way: |

e|-------------------------------------|	        |
B|--7----10---12-----7--7----10---12---|	        |
G|--7----10---12-----7--7----10---12---|	        |
D|--7----10---12-----7--7----10---12---| rep. (xtimes)  |
A|--5----8----10-----5--5----8----10---|	        |
E|-------------------------------------|	      __|

Bass (I think):

G|-------------------------------------|
D|--0----3----5------0--0----3----5----|
A|-------------------------------------|
E|-------------------------------------|
G|-------------------------------------|
D|--0----------------------------------|
A|-------4----3------0-----------------|
E|----------------------4----3----1----|

D F G

e|--------------------------------------------------------------|
B|--------------------------------------------------------------|
G|--------------------------------------------------------------|
D|--3-3-3--3--2--3--6--7-------3-3-3--3--3--2--5---5--5--3--2---|rep.
A|------------------------5-------------------------------------|

LYRICS

I saw a man, get the beat dead

Took his money outta his wallet and fell dead on the curb

I saw them gather celebrate the crime

Teacher knows were bout to learn a lesson of their kind

I raised my hand, I got another question

If I start a riot, will I get protection?

Cause I'm the kid who got a lot of problems

If I throw a brick maybe the brick will go and solve them

Oh, yeah, I wanna riot!

Oh, yeah, I wanna riot!

I'm boiling up, city's on heat

Red alert tension, you know it's on the street

Code blue, city of the dead

Silence of the night with the lights bloody red

See how we do this, see how we ride

Throw a brick, light a fuse, it starts to blow, duck inside

Your statistic hammered on my brain

Brand it with another, another pawn in the game

Oh, yeah, I wanna riot!

Oh, yeah, I wanna riot!

In front of me the bakery

Gettin outta line, a dine in, burnin' burglary

My place is burning, burning so quick

Burning like a candle at the end of its wick

Phil, I turned the dial, I turned the channel

I turned it to a monster fight on the eternal battle

I need some help man, there is no doubt

If I'm gonna go down I'm gonna take somebody out

Oh, yeah, I wanna riot!

Oh, yeah, I wanna riot!

Oh, yeah, I wanna riot!

Oh, yeah, I wanna riot!

Riot!
