I WANNA SEE OKA EVERYWHERE by Propagandhi

this is a tab and words of a rare song off of a 10 inch vinyl split of
propagandi and i*spy called "I’d rather be flag burning!" it’s also, as far
as picking goes, one of their hardest songs. this record was released when
they were still on their own G-7 Welcoming Committee record label. They are
currently on Fat Wreck-chords.

defined:
7x = muffle 7th fret and pick downward
7xxxx = muffle 7th and pick downward 4 times
7/9 = slide to from 7 to 9

ONCE AGAIN-this tab is very specific, each strum is defined

now drums and bass play alone while chris sings:
but this song’s not about some romantic account of history, it’s not about
martyrs or mythos or heroes
or burnings in effigy. it’s about a native kid flipping her wig to try to
keep some self-respect in tact.
it’s about an oka who raised her fist in resistance, and a will to fight
back!
verses 1 and 2
play these two parts for verse one, then again for verse two!!

words:
verse1
the girls at work, they still deny their racism. they claim tolerance for
all, but it seems the degree of only
racial slurs as their gauge defines tolerance as hate. and there’s
27-million girls at work here. imagine fighting that 500 years.

verse2
And golly gee! how valiant! how the white oppressor makes allowance for the
calculated gestures of
insurgence tightly tethered to their purses. oka had this orchestra
aborted. oka f***ed the rules to choose a future self-determined. i
support *it.

*here’s where you start playing this little solo

words:
end
and the best thing i think i ever said, was ‘if a Kevin Costner cavalry is
your means to their ends, then the struggle is dead.’ why do we pretend
approval is upon what they depend?

any questions, e-mail brian at hinz0029@tc.umn.edu
i also take requests if you want me to tab any other propagandhi song
