HYENA - by Rancid from the self-titled album tabbed by Adam Peiken
(This song is easiest divided into 11 separate parts)
1. During Bass Intro, Guitar plays distortion in the key of G. At the end of the intro, right before "Here we go!" Slide a C to a D.
2. In the part of the song following that (but before the lyrics begin) the guitar plays: GD#GD#GD#CD X2
3. VERSE G I'm money broke B-C-B-C It's no joke G Can't cope B-C-B-C Use the rope this time G Knuckle up, buckle up B-C-B-C The ride's getting rough GB-C-B-C But I will not lose my mind GB-C-B-C I asked them if I could come in GB-C-B-C And the first thing they said was no GB-C-B-C If I can't come in, that means I can't come back GF That means I got nowhere to go
4. CHORUS FCBbF I'm a hyena fighting for the lion share FCBbF X2 Sometimes the lion share ain't there
GD#GD#GD#CD X2
5. VERSE 2 (Same chords as the first) Absent from political authority An animal I've become Total disorder and confusion is the lifestyle that I run Permit me to do what I want and I will I'm a nomad to travel Concrete glass stone and gravel
6. CHORUS
7. VERSE 3 (A little different. Also heavy mike distortion. *Besides the "D#Bb" chords are basically impossible to pick out. The bass carries the melody. However it does sound sort of like a G being raked.) G* Every time I turn around it's the same sad story G* Getting ganked I wish it would end G* And life's comisary G* D#Bb I'm a bad missionary with a wicked message I send G* (????) ...is not the way I want to live. G* Who could I trust in a world of green? G* When I'm taught to take and not give.
8. BRIDGE D# Who could I trust? Bb When I'm taught to take and not give.
9. SOLO (Don't have time to tab this out, but these are the chords played under the solo.) FCBbF X 4 Guitar solo played out of a blues scale in the key of F
10. Repeat first verse (#3)
11. CHORUS v.2 Play through the chords (F C Bb F) two times alone with the bass before kicking in the chorus lyrics. During the second time through: Spoken: You see there's nothing you can say that's going to change my mind. Fuck you!
FCBbF I'm a hyena fighting for the lion share FCBbF Sometimes the lion share ain't there -------------------------------------------------------- FCBbG#F Sometimes the lion share ain't there
