Just one of those songs I happened to be listening to and managed to
figure it out. I think I may have figured out "Change II" off of the
Change album if anyone's interested.
Tab is mine, as are any errors. If you make any corrections or
additions, fine, but let me know so that I can play it right too!

"Raw" by The Alarm -- tabbed by Ken MacFarlane
INTRO: appregio based on G F F Em bar chords, something like:
E|-----3--------1--------1--------0---|
B|--------3--------1----------------0-|
G|------------------------------------|
D|---5--------3--------3--------2-----|
A|----------------------------2-------|
E|-3--------1--------1------0---------|
This figure repeats throughout the verses.
At one point in the first verse, this changes slightly:
(sorry, don't have exact lyric with me)
I have drunk from fire water 
Free spirits rising in the world   
and then above figure repeats again.
CHORUS:
Raw, raw, burnt back to the bone
Raw, raw, you better leave this child alone
Raw, raw, I ain't got no home...now
Burnt right back...burnt right back to the bone.
G G (rake) G G (rake) F F (rake) F F (rake)...then back to the verse.
BRIDGE: (after second chorus)
Rolling like a river, running like a train
Free spirits rising in the world today
SOLO: don't have it, but it's based on the G G F C pattern of the verse
then second verse, repeating G G F C until the end of the song
