Team America - *** Yeah!

By Reid Wason (reid_san@hotmail.com)

Intro: (Americaaa…Americaaaaa) Let the chords ring

E   --0---------------3-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
B   --1---------------2-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
G   --0---------------3-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
D   --2---------------0-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
A   --3---------------0-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
E   ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------


Verse: I’ve not written this very rhythmically, but you should be able to get the idea. 
    
The second bit (after the E5 is hit a few times) is in time with the words “*** yeah!” if that helps at all.

E   ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
B   ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
G   ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
D   --9-9-9-9-9-9-9--7----9---9-9-9--7-7-7-7-7-7-7----7----------12---9--------------------
A   --7-7-7-7-7-7-7--5----7---7-7-7--5-5-5-5-5-5-5----5----9----10---7---------------------
E   -----------------------------------------------------------------7---------------------------------

Chorus:

The guitar riff goes like this:

E   ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
B   ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
G   ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
D   -------------------------------------7---9--------------------------------------------------------
A   ---5-----7-----5---------7--10----5---7--------------------------------------------------------
E   ---3-----5-----3---------5---8-------------------------------------------------------------------
                                         
Whereas the keyboard riff over the top goes like this:

E   -15--12-------15--12-------15---12-----------------------------------------------------------
B   -----------12------------12----------------------------------------------------------------------
G   ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
D   ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
A   ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
E   ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

This is the fill riff that happens before everything cuts out in the middle section (after Slavery: *** yeah!)

E   ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
B   ------8-----7-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
G   --------------------7--9--------------------------------------------------------------------------
D   ---9-----9-----9----------7--9------------------------------------------------------------------
A   ----------------------------------10--9------7-------------------------------------------------
E   ------------------------------------------10----------------------------------------------------


Finally, the ending section is just the E5 (the first chord in the main riff) played in various different rhythms till it crashes out, AC/DC style.

If anyone could send me in the tab for the fast scale-climbing lead line I’d much appreciate it :).
