SONG: Cease

AUTHOR: Greg Graffin

ARTIST: Bad Religion

ALBUM: The Gray Race

YEAR: 1996

TABBED BY: The Jackal

I got an advance copy of Bad Religion's new album, "The Gray Race" (as

far as I know, it will be released March 5th). While this isn't (I guess)=

the easiest song on the album to figure out (especially lyric-wise) it's

the first one I've figured out so far, and IMHO one of the best, so

enjoy!

The lyrics are probably really screwed up by me, but from what I can make=

of 'em, they're some of Greg Graffin's best. Hey, the man has a Ph.D. for=

chrissakes!

"Cease" -- Bad Religion

B A G F#

Flat top pave-ment com-fort me

B A G F#

Like a chemical reaction or a steamroller, spreading randomly

B A G F#

There=D5s a distant fuzz of a frequency

B A G F#

It tickles my ears, rustles under my feet

B A G F#

And it shakes the leaves off of every tree

G A F#

Vio-lent-ly

B A G

What protection everlasting peace (??)

A B

Everything must cease

(same chords as before)

In-sti-tu-tion on the hill

Like a beacon in the mind of an ancestor to remind the people=D5s will (??)

There=D5s a shadow stain on the west facade

It is spread like a cave to entrap the pod (???)

And the decent folks find it oh so odd

Oh so odd

What protection everlasting peace

Everything must cease

(pluck 6th string only -- this part is slow)

B A G F#

Brave me-mo-rials hewn white stone

B A G F#

Like the comforting caress of a mother or a friend you've always known

(strum from here -- resumes normal Bad Religion tempo)

B A G F#

It evokes such pain and significance

B A G F#

What was once is reduced to remembrance

B A G F#

And the generations pass without recompense

G A F#

Aa-aaaa-hhh...

B A G

What protection everlasting peace

A B

Everything must cease

Cease -- Bad Religion

Kind of an amend to my earlier tab

The way this sounds best is if you play it in E (power chords). Then the

intro is:

EED CCB. the basic chord pattern is E D C B (Black top pavement...) When

it goes "Shakes the leaves off of..." C D B, and "Violently" is C B A.

"Everything must cease" is E D C ... D E.

If that's a little hard to understand, listen to the album. E. Hulka
