Sick of Drugs - The Wildhearts
Tabbed by Joseph Waters

This is my first attempt at a tab so i'm not definite on all of it. Sounds alright to me 
Tuned half a step down.


Intro Riff:

E--------5------------|
B----5-------5--------|
G--2---2---2---2--4---|
D---------------------|
A---------------------|
E---------------------|


Intro Chords:

A E D

Verse Part 1:

A                  E
Waking up with an eight point two
         A
And it seemed like the easiest thing to do
         A7                D
When someone said "Here's one for you!"

E---------------------------|
B---------------------------|
G---------------------------|
D--2----6-7-6---------------|
A--0----4-5-4----2----6-7-6-|
E----------------0----4-5-4-|

A                  E
Mouth's so dry that I just spit ash
         A
In a hole in my pocket full of wasted cash
         A7*                D
But it's all right, it was just bad stash

E---------------------------|
B---------------------------|
G---------------------5-6-5-|
D--2----6-7-6----6----3-4-3-|
A--0----4-5-4----4----------|
E---------------------------|

Verse Part 2:

E-----------------------------|
B-----------------------------|
G-----------------------------|
D--7---7-7--7-7--7-7-----2-3--|
A--5---4-5--4-5--4-5--6--0-1--|
E---------------------4-------|

"Jump inside," he said, I tried,

E----------------------|
B----------------------|
G----------------------|
D--4---4-4--4-4--4-4-4-|
A--2---1-2--1-2--1-2-2-|
E----------------------|

"I never met a junkie that I didn't like"

     A                      E
Said he and who am I to disagree?

Chorus:

   D             A                 E               A
Oh how can you stay when you're sixteen million miles away?
D            A               Db
How can you fly when you're free?
   D             A                 E               A
And how can you feel when your mind's made up like a will of steel?
D            A              E
How can you deal in your dream?
Db     B     A
Sick of Ecstasy
Sick of LSD
Sick of Drugs are we.


Before verse 2, play D A E D A E + Intro Riff over the top.

Verse 2 and the Chorus use the same chords as previously.

Bridge:

   E                  D
E--------5---------------------|
B----5-------5--------x-x-x-x--|
G--2---2---2---2--4---x-x-x-x--|
D------------------------------|  x 4
A------------------------------|
E------------------------------|

Keep playing the intro riff with these chords.

D A D A D  C#  B  A  G  F  E**

As you go into the chorus the final time, don't play the first D. That's basically the 
song, hope it helps.


* I find its best to play A7 as:

E-----
B-----
G--6--
D--5--
A--7--
E--5--

** This final E should be played as

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

All other Es in the song are:

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