"Kerosene" by Bad Religion off of the album "Recipe For Hate"

(transcribed by David Back, email: sphaeron@csionline.com)

The chords for this song are really divided into three main parts, with
some little variations.

..and of course, an overdriven channel.


Verse Chords:

These are played in a very fast strumming pattern, just copy
off the album as well as you can..

e|--10-10-10-10-10---9--9--9--9--9----7--7--7--7--7---9--9--9--9--9----
b|--10-10-10-10-10---9--9--9--9--9----7--7--7--7--7---9--9--9--9--9----
g|--12-12-12-12-12---11-11-11-11-11---9--9--9--9--9---11-11-11-11-11---
d|--12-12-12-12-12---11-11-11-11-11---9--9--9--9--9---11-11-11-11-11---
a|--10---------------9----------------7---------------9--9--9--9--9----
E|---------------------------------------------------------------------


You play that a few times, then play the same thing with a small variation..

e|--10-10-10-10-10---9--9--9--9--9----8--8--8--8--8----8--8--8--8--8-----
b|--10-10-10-10-10---9--9--9--9--9----8--8--8--8--8----8--8--8--8--8-----
g|--12-12-12-12-12---11-11-11-11-11---10-10-10-10-10---10-10-10-10-10----
d|--12-12-12-12-12---11-11-11-11-11---10-10-10-10-10---10-10-10-10-10----

Now comes the chorus, with some really cool lyrics, as well. :-)

    "alone   to   watch  it     burn...        Kerosene..."


Now after doing that stuff a few times, (just follow the album) you
will come across the "solo" section of the song, with a bridge of sorts
followed by a guitar solo.  You play the intro to the chorus just as
you would if a normal chorus was to come about, but then you play
this riff.  These are the chords...

e|----8----8----8----8------7---7------5---5------3---3---3---3------

You just have to piece it together and play the certain parts when they
come around in the song.
