Rage Against The Federation
Warp 11
Boldly Go Down On Me
Transcriber: Matthew Choat

I got corrections to this tab from the Guitarist of Warp 11 himself! Here is
exactly how he said to play the main riff of the song:

Intro/Riff 1: (x2) When I do the back and forth with the Bb to A, I'm just pulling
off (not tossing off)  the A string.
E-|m-Em-Bb-B-B-B-Bb-A-Bb-A-Bb-A
E-|m-Em-Bb-B-B-B-Bb-A-Bb

Verse 1:
Em-Em-Bb-B-B-B-Bb-A-Bb-A-Bb-A
To boldly go - don’t you see?
Em-Em-Bb-B-B-B-Bb-A-Bb
Is just a ploy - it’s a fucking conspiracy

The final frontier

Is just a lie that kills thousands every year

‘Cause you and me - don’t you see

Brainwashed at the fucking academy

This red shirt - I’ll say it loud

It ain’t nothing but a fucking death shroud

Chorus:
Em-G-Em
The Red Shirts are dying
Em-G-Em
The Red Shirts are dying
Em-G-Em
The Red Shirts are dying
Em-G-Em
The Red Shirts are dying
(Riff)

Verse 2: (riff 1)
We beam down, but not back
Before the break we were under attack
“Forward!” Captain cried from the rear and the front rank died
We get the orders - we make it so
We live fast but we don’t die slow
Our bones are crushed - our blood is spilled
The prime directive is to fuckin get us…

::Repeat Chorus::

Bridge:
Em
The Red Shirts are dying
G
I ain’t lying
A-B-A
What they sellin’ you buying
G                     F#-G
While the Captain’s satisfying
Em                                        G
His itch in a ditch with some green skinned bitch
A-B-A                                C                 B
And the federation grows increasingly rich

Interlude (turn on pimp ass “Rage” guitar effect, the one that sounds like a jet taking off):
Em
I woke up
G
I went up
A                                               G        F#
To where the captain’s gettin’ intimate
Em
I showed up
G
I strolled up
A                                       C          B
I looked at him like I don’t give a shit
Em
He looked up
G
His dick up
A                               G   F#
But it fell before my scrutiny
Em
He stood up
G
He fucked up
A                                   C    B
He didn’t know it was a mutiny
(Riff 1)
Mutiny!

Verse 3: (Riff 1)
So we breathe our last breath
Beamed into space or choked to death
A phaser blast, a Klingon assault
Drained of blood and drained of salt
Bat’leth, poison spores
While the captain gets laid by alien whores
Our essence, understand
Distilled in a shape and crushed in a hand
::repeat Chorus::
