Title: Nuclear Holiday
Artist: 3 Colours Red

Taken from the album "Pure" (CRECD208)
words & music by (McCormack/Vuckovic)
published in UK by Creation Records Ltd.

Transcribed by John Meredith

This is my first tab posting so I hope you people like it! It is a
fairly simple song to play, just a bunch of chords played through
heavy distortion with liberal amounts of palm muting which is SO
effective!

All chords are ACTUAL notes for a 1/2 tone drop tuning so most can
be played on a normal tuned guitar if shifted down a semi-tone
(1 fret).

The chords used are:

	E (022100@1)name="chord_x02220@1">A D (xx0232@1)name="chord_320003@1">G B (x2444x@1)name="chord_022100@1">E

A#5 (x133xx@1) 	7 9 9 x x x	or	x 2 4 4 x x
G54 (355xxx@1)5 5 x x x
C5x (x355xx@1)4 5 5 x x
F52 (133xxx@1)5 5 x x x
G#55 (133xxx@4)7 7 x x x	or	x 0 2 2 x x
D#5x (xx134x@1)7 9 9 x x
D5x (xx023x@1)6 8 8 x x
D#5(2)	0 2 2 x x x	(or if you don't detune  x 1 1 x x x )

*ALL CHORDS ARE PALM MUTED UNLESS STATED OTHERWISE*

VERSE 1:

(For the first section, Pete plays the bass only, but guitar can be
added by hitting the A# note on the 7th fret of the bass E string
fast)

A# bass note --------------------------->  G5
I had the best intentions  yeah honestly  I paid attention

A#5 (x133xx@1)		      G5I'm (355xxx@1)a loose conection  so promise me  a soft injection


PRE-CHORUS:

C5 (x355xx@1)  F5 (133xxx@1)G5 (355xxx@1) C5 (x355xx@1)G#5 (133xxx@4)A#5A (x133xx@1)shallow feeling           defies meaning


CHORUS:

D# (x43121@3) A#5I (x133xx@1)need a holiday, to blow you all away,
C5 (x355xx@1)	      G5lose (355xxx@1)all the stiffs in my parade

D# (x43121@3)A#5I (x133xx@1)need a holiday, a nuclear holiday,
C5 (x355xx@1)        G5just (355xxx@1)go anywhere I'll stay


VERSE 2: (same as verse 1)


Fell on the outside, where givin' in comes in like the tide

And everybody's shinin' perfectly, moments in timing


PRE-CHORUS: repeat


CHORUS: repeat


SOLO: (it is quite random so use your imagination!)

*IT IS EASIER IF YOU USE THE "or" CHORDS AS THEY ARE ALL ON
    ONE STRING DURING THE DECENDING PART OF THE SOLO*
If you don't want to drop tune, the D#5(2) can be played as
the two note diad.

G#5 (133xxx@4)          A#5 (x133xx@1)       D#5 (xx134x@1)D5 (xx023x@1)name="chord_x355xx@1">C5 A# (x1333x@1)G#5 (133xxx@4)          A#5 (x133xx@1)       D#5(2)


BRIDGE:
(heavy FAST muting!)

D#5 (xx134x@1)       A#5If (x133xx@1)I talk you talk the words I say

C5 (x355xx@1)       G5Come (355xxx@1)back around a different way

D#5 (xx134x@1)   A#5The (x133xx@1)end is just a breath away

C5 (x355xx@1)			G5If (355xxx@1)you ain't got a weapon then you'll never get a say


CHORUS:

D#5 (xx134x@1)  A#5 (x133xx@1)I need a holiday   to blow you all away
C5 (x355xx@1)	     G5 (355xxx@1)lose all the stiffs in my parade

D#5 (xx134x@1)             PAUSE ---------->
 I need a holiday a nuclear holiday
C5 (x355xx@1)	 G5 (355xxx@1)just go anywhere i'll stay


*repeat chorus twice without the pause*

During the last two chorus' there is some strange chord being
contantly played in the backround. It doesn't alter the song much
so if you are a two piece have a widdle here!


So there it is. Please contact me with any comments,
suggestions etc.......
