Common to both live versions is Riff 2, which on Come Home Live is played over both verses. On Seven Live it is played over the first verse only, and on the album version it doesn't appear at all. The Main Riff appears in the album version and is the only clearly audible riff, playing over the two verses and the choruses. On Seven Live it is played over the second verse (and may actually be slightly different; it's certainly played with a lot more distortion) only, and perhaps over the choruses. Right at the end of the Come Home Live version appears the Chorus Riff. In the live versions Larry plays a chord of Bb (occasionally ) during the jam bits. Anything else should be loosely based on anything already mentioned. The chords are relatively straightforward. When doing the chord change in the chorus try playing Eb, F slide-to F#, Ab slide-to Bb. Lyrics/Chords: Bb There's a fight, there's a fight, there's a fight And the rage is growing You have pushed me through too many windows and too many doors You have torn all the joy from my heart and the blood is showing The only beat you allow around here is the beat of war Let's have a party Eb F# Bb Bring a gu-un-un Eb F# Bb Bring a gu-un-un Don't go out tonight with that smile or you might get arrested Get a license for that grin or they'll lock you away If you show that you're happy inside then you're gonna get busted The only law we allow around here is an organised grey Let's have a party Bring a gun Bring a gun What are you going to do if the muscle won't move They are blocking the light, blocking the light How many words will you waste on a Terreblanche Let's, let's, let's, let's, let's, let's have a party What are you going to do if the muscle won't move They are blocking the light, blocking the light How many words will you waste on a Terreblanche Let's, let's, let's, let's, let's, let's have a party And you can bring your gun And you can bring your dogs And you can bring your shiny new helicopter Bring a gun Bring a gun Bring a gun Let's have a party Bring your gun Transcribed by Alex Carter 2001 (with frequent interference from John Murray). alex@shandy3000.fsnet.co.uk
