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]
[Chorus Riff] [Other Riff]

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'.

Iนm not to sure about the end bit I donนt have my guitar at hand.
The riff seems to carry on through most of the song with the second guitar going
through this progression: Em F# A E
The second guitar only starts the F#, A, E part after the riff has been played.
The first guitar can play the whole thing if necessary just go staight from the
riff into the F#, A, E part!
Also try replacing the A & E chords with A5add9 & Em
Here are the chords just in case...:
Em - 022000
E - 022100
A - x02220
A5add9 - x02200
F# - 244322
Just listen to the song and it should slip into place somewhere!!!
As usual I still have my crappy little acoustic so with enough distortion this
should sound spot-on on an electric guitar.
Thanks to Ian lathwal (ilathwel@rpms.ac.uk) who posted the tab above this tab
works well with my little addition, I have based it on what he has writen so it
should sound really good now.
Sorry about all the text but Iนm rather new at this and need a little practice.
Please bare with any mistakes as i am doing this all from memory!
Hope this helps a bit!
