THE ACT WE ACT by SUGAR
This is a pretty simple song from a rhythm point of view. I haven't
included any of the leads because I don't know them.
INTRO:
A--2h3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3|
E--0h1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1|
Play 8 times.
Verse riff:
F5 E5 Am B
e------------------------|---------------7-7-7-7-7-7-7|
B------------------------|---------------7-7-7-7-7-7-7|
G------------------------|-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-8-8-8-8-8-8-8|
D-3-----------2----------|-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-9-9-9-9-9-9-9|
A-3-3-3-3-3-3-2-2-2-2-2-2|-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-9-9-9-9-9-9-9|
E-1-1-1-1-1-1-0-0-0-0-0-0|-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-7-7-7-7-7-7-7|
Palm mute heavily For F5, and gradually ease it off through the riff.
F5 E5 Am B

F5 E5 Am B
Take that thing away from me ....
F5 E5 Am B
I couldn't say I'd blame you or you ....

CHORUS:
G Am B C
Hours slipping by as you ...
G Am B C
Now you're nothing more ....
G Am B C
The dark it turns to ....
G Am B C
Rolling with the tide I confide ....
I think that on the album, these are played as E-shape barre chords
(similar to the verse riff, but less restrained), but I play them as open
position chords to go easy on my left hand.
INTRO RIFF 4 TIMES
The other verses and choruses are played with the same riffs:
If affection holds you back then what is ....
CHORUS:
All the things I haven't seen once the .....
SOLO: Play the verse riff under any lead you'd like :)
OUTRO CHORUSES:
Another big explosion leaving you ....

PLAY INTRO RIFF 4 TIMES
End on E5 chord.
Well, this is how I play it..enjoy!

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 SUGAR 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.
