Chemical World (From: Modern Life is Rubbish, Blur)
==============
- There are two guitar parts througout the whole song (as well as a 3rd in the
solo). Anyway, I hope this helps you out a bit:
Guitar 1, verse: (mild distortion)
|-----|----------------------------------------------------------------------
|-9-/-|---------14------------14h15------------------------------------------
|-9-/-|------14----14----------------14--------------------------------------
|-9-/-|--------------------14------------14----------12---9h10-9-----9-------
|-7-/-|---12-----------11-------------------9h12-----------------h12---12-10-
|intro|-------------------------------------------10-------------------------
- Repeat this riff throughout "The pay me girl...very very very cheap"
Guitar 2, verse: (mild distortion)
===============
A A/Ab D C
"The pay me girl has had enough of the bleeps, so she takes a bus into
G
the country..."
where: A = 577655 (low to high)
A/Ab = 477650 (play low 4 with thumb)
D = xx0232
C = x32010
G = 320003
Guitar 1, chorus:
================
|---------------------------------------------------------------------------
|---------------------------------------------------------------------------
|---------------------------------------------------------------------------
|-----11-14-11-----11----11--14--11-----------------14---9----9----9--------
|--12-----------11------------------h14-12-----------------9---h12--h12-10--
|---------------------12----------------------12/14-------------------------
- This is difficult to follow, but its pretty close to the actual guitar
line. This gets repeated through every chorus as well as through the
last portion of the song.
Guitar 2, chorus:
================
A A/Ab F#m C#m Bm D F
"Well I don't know about you, but their putting the holes in, yes, yes..."
where: F#m = 244222
C#m = x46654
Bm = x24432
F = 133211
note: an alternative for A/Ab is A7 (I think) which is : x02120
- I never bothered with the solo, but there is one and its pretty easy.
Anyway, I hope you like this tab...

This musical interpretation has been removed due to a legal threat from Moses & Singer LLP,
representing the National Music Publishers' Association (NMPA) and
The Music Publisher's Association of the United States (MPA).
Unfortunately, these threats are fueled by greed and being masked by a "copyright infringement." They claim tab sites are
"hurting the songwriters," but it's a known fact that the publishing companies garner most of the
revenue. Instead, they would prefer you to purchase the
official BLUR tablature
which is an option we've always given our users. And due to the highly error-prone nature of tabs on the internet, many choose to go this route.
These companies also do not realize that tablature sites help to promote their artists.
For more information on this onslaught, you can read the
NY Times Article.
We hope one of the larger tablature sites will have the money to fight this. Until then, we urge you all to keep tabbing songs and sharing them in any way you can.
