 #HYENA - by Rancid from the self-titled album
 #tabbed by Adam Peiken <pike@merle.acns.nwu.edu>
 #
 #(This song is easiest divided into 11 separate parts)
 #
 #1. During Bass Intro, Guitar plays distortion in the key of G. At the end of
 #the intro, right before
 #"Here we go!" Slide a C to a D.
 #2. In the part of the song following that (but before the lyrics begin) the
 #guitar plays:
 #G D# G D# G D# C D X2
 #3. VERSE
 G              
 I'm money broke
      B-C-B-C 
 It's no joke
 G         
 Can't cope
                       B-C-B-C 
 Use the rope this time
 G                    
 Knuckle up, buckle up
               B-C-B-C   
 The ride's getting rough
 G                          B-C-B-C 
 But I will not lose my mind
 G               B-C-B-C        
 I asked them if I could come in
 G                               B-C-B-C 
 And the first thing they said was no
 G                               B-C-B-C         
 If I can't come in, that means I can't come back
 G                             F 
 That means I got nowhere to go
 4. CHORUS
 F           C        Bb                F 
 I'm a hyena fighting for the lion share
 F C Bb F X2
 Sometimes the lion share ain't there
 G D# G D# G D# C D X2
 5. VERSE 2 (Same chords as the first)
 Absent from political authority
 An animal I've become
 Total disorder and confusion is the lifestyle that I run
 Permit me to do what I want and I will I'm a nomad to travel
 Concrete glass stone and gravel
 6. CHORUS
 7. VERSE 3 (A little different. Also heavy mike distortion. *Besides the
 "D# Bb" chords are
 basically impossible to pick out. The bass carries the melody. However it
 does sound sort of like
 a G being raked.)
 G*
 Every time I turn around it's the same sad story
 G*
 Getting ganked I wish it would end
 G*
 And life's comisary
 G* D# Bb
 I'm a bad missionary with a wicked message I send
 G*
 (????) ...is not the way I want to live.
 G*
 Who could I trust in a world of green?
 G*
 When I'm taught to take and not give.
 8. BRIDGE
 D#                
 Who could I trust?
 Bb                                   
 When I'm taught to take and not give.
 9. SOLO (Don't have time to tab this out, but these are the chords played
 under the solo.)
 F C Bb F X 4
 Guitar solo played out of a blues scale in the key of F
 10. Repeat first verse (#3)
 11. CHORUS v.2
 Play through the chords (F C Bb F) two times alone with the bass before
 kicking in the chorus
 lyrics.
 During the second time through:
 Spoken: You see there's nothing you can say that's going to change my mind.
 Fuck you!
 F           C        Bb                F 
 I'm a hyena fighting for the lion share
 F               C          Bb       F 
 Sometimes the lion share ain't there

 F       C            Bb   G#        F 
 Sometimes the lion share ain't there
