Song: Hooligan
Artist: Embrace
Album: Drawn From Memory
Tabbed By: Ian Dulley (Monkeypants1@hotmail.com)

Full Tab!

The first (and simplest) single off the second Embrace album is easy. It's essentailly two chords throughout, and the lead acoustic parts are simple as hell.
Tuning is standard (EADGBE) and there are two guitars, both acoustic. You will have to listen to the recording for the timing as the A chord is played for a shorter length of time than the E chord.

Intro:

E               A       E               A

Verse:

E               A       E               A
Don't try and beat 'em up, just call them all aboard.

E               A       E               A
Cos when your bark has gone, you're gonna take 'em all head on.

E               A       E               A
Your faith is running low. It's too bad you'll never know.

E               A       E               A
So don't be a fool again, cos they're just hooligans.

And that's it.
Some of it may look hard, but once you memorize it, it's really simple, it just revolves around those few strings and doesn't go further than the 6th fret.

Chord Listings:

E - (0 2 2 1 0 0)
A - (0 0 2 2 2 0)
        or
A - (5 7 7 6 5 5)

Have fun.
