Here's one of the Bates' great cover-versions. This song's an all time classic and just rocks if played in very punkrock way. But to cut a long story short, you already know this song well and will hopefully be about the tab. Comments, corrections or flames are welcome. You find the chordchart as usually below the song. Have Fun: HELLO - THE BATES Intro/Verse(play with some echo effect(or vibrato) and let each chord ring):

^AWoke up this morning and the ^Bstreets were full of cars, ^Dall bright and shiny like they'd ^Ajust arrived from mars, ^Aand as I stumbled through last ^Bnight's drunken debris, ^Dthe paperboy screamed out the ^Aheadlines in the street.

Verse(now guitar 2 starts with the rhythm,which is kinda folk-rock, but just listen to CD):

^EmAnother war and now the ^Dpound is looking weak, ^Cand tell me have you read a^Bmbout the latest freak? ^EmWe're bingo numbers and our ^Dnames are obsolete. C B7(gradually add distortion) Why do I feel bitter, when I should be feelin' sweet?

Chorus(overdrive distortion, all powerchords now, and palm muted punk rhythm):

^E5Hello , hello^C#5, turn your radio ^G#5on, ^B5 is there ^E5anybody out there^C#5, help me sing my ^G#5song, ^B5

F#5 G#5 - A5 (guitar stops, bass is playing alone) la la la life is a strange thing: E (strum full chord, then pick through E, A) Just when you think you know how to use it, it's gone. Verse 2 (played the same way as intro/verse):

^AWoke up this morning and my ^Bhead was in a dace, ^Da brave new world has dawned u^Apon the human race, ^Awhere words are meaningless and ^Beverything's surreal, ^Dgonna have to reach my friends to ^Bfind out how I feel.

Verse 2 (played like verse 1, start with the rhythm):

^EmAnd if I taste the honey: ^DIs it really sweet? ^CAnd do I eat it with my ^Bmhands or with my feet? ^EmDoes anybody really ^Dlisten when I speak? ^COr will I have to say it a^B7ll again next week?

-Repeat first part of chorus twice over E5-C#5-G#5-B5 chord progression, change the lyrics of the last played 2nd time) to:

Is there ^E5anybody out there^C#5, tell me what went ^G#5wrong. ^B5 -Then comes the "la la la life" part with one of the most awesome guitar solos in punk history. You want to know it, but I'm not really sure how it is played. So, if you really want it, e-mail me and I'll send it you. You could also look on the OLGA for a guy called Steve Charter (S.P.Charters-CSSE94@cs.bham.ac.uk), who posted the solo for the Shakespeare Sisters version of this song.

-During the solo the rhythm guitar sticks with the Chorus chord progression and repeats the la la la life part. -Repeat first part of chorus twice, then play la la - part, which is the OUTRO: guitar 2 lets E - chord ring then guitar 1 fades out silently with A - chord and echo effect. CHORD CHART:

It took me a while getting this one typed. One of the reasons is that they forgot to put the lyrics in the so I had to find those out by myself and I'm not sure, if they're right. Special thanks for this song goes to Crowpunk@hotmail.com.
