THE ACT WE ACT by SUGAR This is a pretty simple song from a rhythm point of view. I haven't included any of the leads because I don't know them. INTRO: A--2h3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3| E--0h1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1| Play 8 times. Verse riff: F5 E5 Am B e------------------------|---------------7-7-7-7-7-7-7| B------------------------|---------------7-7-7-7-7-7-7| G------------------------|-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-8-8-8-8-8-8-8| D-3-----------2----------|-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-9-9-9-9-9-9-9| A-3-3-3-3-3-3-2-2-2-2-2-2|-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-9-9-9-9-9-9-9| E-1-1-1-1-1-1-0-0-0-0-0-0|-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-7-7-7-7-7-7-7| Palm mute heavily For F5, and gradually ease it off through the riff.
F5I'm watching you E5walk as you Amwalk that Bdistant way F5Take that thing E5away from me Amtake away most Beverything
F5I couldn't say I'd E5blame you or you should Amnever look in Bback F5You wouldn't be to E5blame if you Amcouldn't take it Bback
CHORUS:
GHours slipping Amby as you Bwatch the worlds colClide GNow you're nothing Ammore than aBnother passerCby
GThe dark it turns to Amlight in a Bdistant flash of Cnight Rolling Gwith the Amtide I confide Bthe act we weaCr it thin again
I think that on the album, these are played as E-shape barre chords (similar to the verse riff, but less restrained), but I play them as open position chords to go easy on my left hand. INTRO RIFF 4 TIMES The other verses and choruses are played with the same riffs: If affection holds you back then what is left to hold If I could find the answer to that question then I'd know The thoughts that clutter up your mind and leave me feeling drained And walking pacing up the walls across the floor again CHORUS: All the things I haven't seen once the final curtain has been raised The act we act is wering thin the act we act we under my skin The words the words we said goodbye the words left choking in my mind The act we act is wering thin I think we wear it out again SOLO: Play the verse riff under any lead you'd like :) OUTRO CHORUSES: Another big explosion leaving you hoping That something that once held you down could leave you feeling on the ground The confusion that persists decisions that you guessed The one to stay and watch this the one you might have missed REPEAT 2ND CHORUS CONTINUE PLAYING CHORUS FIGURE: Forming a conclusion And you're left standing PLAY INTRO RIFF 4 TIMES End on E5 chord. Well, this is how I play it..enjoy! *** Tablature provided by....THE INEVITABLE MIKE LACH Questions, comments, complaints, frustrations' E-mail me 24 hours a day at ind02068@pegasus.cc.ucf.edu (I accept compliments, too!)
