OASIS - "cigarettes and alcohol" Tablature
Official OASIS Tablature & Sheet Music »
From: ilathwel@rpms.ac.uk (Ian Lathwell)
Oasis are a relitavely new UK band. Massivly popular and soon to be big
elsewhere. Hopefully I'll get some other stuff tabbed soon.
Cigarettes and Alcohol
By Oasis
[Trans. I Lathwell]
This is how I think it sounds, but it is just from listening to the record
and so could well be wrong. If anyone has any comments then please send
them to me.
[Intro/E Riff]
The Intro and other E chord places is a riff that repeats between E and
Esus4 (002220), I think the rythmn is something like ||S|||S|||S|||S (With
S being the Sus4 chord)
Intro-
E/ESus4 F# A
Verse 1-
E F# A E
Is it my imagination, or have I finally found something worth looking for,
E F# A E
I was looking for some action, but all I found was Cigarettes and Alcohol,
Chorus-
A E A E
You could wait for a lifetime, to spend your days in the sunshine,
A E D
You might as well be a white lie, 'cause when it comes on top, (???? Words)
A E A E
You gotta make it happen, you gotta make it happen, (X2)
D A E A E ... to solo
Verse 2-
Is it worth the agrivation,
to find yourself a job when there's nothing worth working for,
It's a crazy situation, but all I need are Cigarettes and Alcohol,
Chorus-
Solo....
Ad lib and mess around bit-
E A
You gotta make it
E A
You gotta fake it
(X2)
Solo....end.
[A couple of riffs I picked out]

That's all I got. I think listening to T Rex might be a good source for the
other Riffs in the song, as they all seem to be stolen from some song or
other.
[Note on pronounciation]
The way words are sung makes a big difference to this song, any word that
ends in tion, should be said 'sheeeon'. Sunshine is pronounced
'sonsheeeeine'.

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 OASIS 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.
