Title: Nuclear Holiday
Artist: 3 Colours Red

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 A D G B E

A#5         7 9 9 x x x      or      x 2 4 4 x x
G5      4 5 5 x x x
C5      x 4 5 5 x x
F5      2 5 5 x x x
G#5      5 7 7 x x x      or      x 0 2 2 x x
D#5      x 7 9 9 x x
D5      x 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

Bb5                              G5
I'm a loose conection  so promise me  a soft injection


PRE-CHORUS:

C5              F5  G5   C5            Ab5  Bb5
A shallow feeling           defies meaning


CHORUS:

Eb             Bb5
I need a holiday, to blow you all away,
C5                        G5
lose all the stiffs in my parade

Eb            Bb5
I need a holiday, a nuclear holiday,
C5                    G5
just 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.

Ab5            Bb5         Eb5  D5 C5 Bb

Ab5            Bb5         Eb5(2)


BRIDGE:
(heavy FAST muting!)

Eb5                   Bb5
If I talk you talk the words I say

C5                   G5
Come back around a different way

Eb5               Bb5
The end is just a breath away

C5                              G5
If you ain't got a weapon then you'll never get a say


CHORUS:

Eb5              Bb5
 I need a holiday   to blow you all away
C5                       G5
 lose all the stiffs in my parade

D#5               PAUSE ---------->
 I need a holiday a nuclear holiday
C5                   G5
 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!
