  • README: Over the past couple years I have seen several ASCII tabs for
    Fugazi songs. Not until recently did I actually dig out the old
    record and realize how far off most were. So, I played along
  • with the songs a couple times to find something that sounds better:
    Think of this as an improvement to the already available tab.
     
  • At the beginning, it's like this:
     
    ---------------------------------
  • -----3-----2---0-----0-----2---3-
    --------------------------------- (repeat many times)
    -2-2---2-2---2---2-2---2-2---2---
  • ---------------------------------
    ---------------------------------
    (let ring on most notes)
  •  
    Note: At one point, the second half of that part is left off.
    Also, some chorus or an overdub is added for a while.
  •  
    Then, it does this:
    ------- ---
  • ------- and it ends up just ---
    -----3- (repeat strumming this -3-
    -2-2--- several with crescendo: -2-
  • ------- times) ---
    ------- ---
     
  • Then something like this chord is struck:
     
    -0-
  • -5-
    -4-
    -2-
  • ---
    ---
     
  • The second half uses these chords:
    (I have not indicated how many times each is struck)
    --- --- --- --- ---
  • --- --- --- --- ---
    -7- -6- -4- -6- -7-
    -7- -6- -4- -6- -7-
  • -5- -4- -2- -4- -5-
    --- --- --- --- ---
    ^^
  • Note: you may want to strike the open E string
    or an E chord at the beginning
     
  • and again, but with high part added
     
    --- --- --- -------
  • --- --- --- -------
    -7- -6- -4- -8/9\8-
    -7- -6- -4- -6/7\6-
  • -5- -4- -2- -------
    --- --- --- -------
    ^^
  • Note as above
     
    This riff is thrown in periodically for good measure:
  • (the last chord is cut from the figure that precedes it)
     
    ------------------------ ---
  • ------------------------ ---
    ------------------------ ---
    -5--5--5--5--7--7--7-5-- -2-
  • -5--5--5--5--7--7--7-5-- -2-
    -3--3--3--3--5--5--5-3-- -0-
    ^^^
  • This last chord just begins the next figure,
    which was given about 30 lines up.
     
  • When we are no longer amused, the song
    approaches its end by varying the previous
    riff -- the following is added:
  •  
    -----------------------------
    -----------------------------
  • -----------------------------
    ----------------------/\----- (make the last note waver by bending the
    -9-----9-10---9-----9//\\---- neck forward or using the whammy bar or
  • -7-----7--8---7-----7/sl\--0~~ whatever you've got, or you can simulate
    it with a bent note one 7th up)
     
  •  
    Finally there's a mess during which I just
    hold the following chord. I emphasize different tones in
  • it to make it sound more like the recording, e.g. by hitting just
    the open E or A strings sometimes and the other 4 strings other times.
    You could also pick a sort of up-down pattern on the EADG strings --
  • listen to the song to hear the B (from the G string) in that pattern.
