SET THE HOUSE ABLAZE

(Paul Weller)

This looks very complicated to understand cos I can't include lyrics but

it's very easy and there's a basic

chord summary at the end. If you listen to the record

you can place all the bits together.

Chords used:

Bm: x24432

G: 320033

Eb: xx5343

Cm: x35543

D: xx0232

F#m: 244222

C#m: x46654

A: x02220

G/F#: 2x0033

Intro:

Guitar 1:

RIFF 1

N.C.

--------------------------

--------------------------

--------3--3--2--2--0--0-- (x19)
--0--0--------------------

The seventh time this riff is played guitar 2 comes in with a single chord:

Something you ...

Back to riff one (x12)

Verse two

(Bm)

'You was so open-minded...

Repeat riff one throughout (there is no guitar slash

at the start of this verse)

Middle eight:

The middle eight is in two sections:

Here you play the chords:

F#m C#m (x4)

I think we've lost our perception... etc.

Third time:

C#m

--4--4-----
--5--5-----
--6--6-----
--6--6-----
--4--4-----

--------x\ (scrape plectrum down string quickly)

..reason...

D C#m A (x3)

I wish that there was something.....do about it...

Repeat chorus.

Break:

Bm G

--2--|-----|--3--|-----|
--3--|-----|--3--|-----|
--4--|-----|--0--|-----| (x2)
--4--|-----|--2--|-----|
-----|-----|--3--|-----|

second time you play G - flick the rhythm/treble switch very quickly.

Then play this riff x6 during the indechipherable spoken part.

Bm G G/F#

--2--------------------
--3--------------------
--4--------------------
--4--------0--2--------
-----2--4--------------
-----------------3--2--

Note: 5th time the there is a pinch harmonic (?)on the

7th fret instead of a Bm chord.

Then play Riff 1 x 4 and repeat the chorus

Chorus.

Coda:

Riff 1 is played around 20 times then after about 15

times a rhythm guitar comes in playing Bm G G/F#

and the riff dissapears in the mix and then drops out.

Before coming back along with the rhythm guitar and it's continued until

the song ends on Bm.

So, a brief summary is

Intro: Bm G (x6)

Verse: Bm G (x3)

Chorus: Eb Cm (x3) D

Verse two: Bm G (x2)

Middle eight: F#m C#m (x4) D C#m A (x2) A

Chorus: as chorus 1

Break: Bm G (x2)

Spoken bit: Bm G G/F# (x6)

Chorus: as chorus 1

Coda: Bm G G/F# to end.

I hope you understand - if I'm completely wrong please

correct me! Cheers.
