Chords for ♪♫ Oasis - Cigarettes and Alcohol (Tutorial)

_ [E] _ _ _ _ _ _ _

_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [F#] _ _ _ [E] _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [B] _ _ _ Alright I'm going to try and show you how to do the intro and [G] verse _ [G#] for Cigarettes and Alcohol. _ _
[G] This one, if you can manage to [F#m] get hold of one of the [B] early demos you can hear _ the chords
a little easier.
It's basically just an [E] E minor, _ [F#] an F sharp minor, and an [A] A.
_ You [F#] _ _ _
never going to play the
_ _ top two [Bm] strings at all.
You're essentially [B] just doing a bass riff.
So it's really [B] just the top three strings and occasionally the fourth string when you're
doing the A [Bm] minor, sorry the A.
_ So the intro starts just by barring right across all the strings on the second fret
except for the bottom [E] E.
So you're effectively playing an E minor.
_ You're hitting [B] the top three strings really.
So [E] you're going to [Bm] hammer on to the fourth fret onto the A string.
Sometimes I use my four fingers, sometimes I use my pinky depending on what part of the
[D#m] song I'm in.
But I start off with the pinky, you can do whatever is easiest for you.
[Bm] So you're [C#] going to hammer on [E] _ _ _ _ twice _ _ _ _ and then you're going to [Bm]
upstroke on the A. _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ Then hammer back onto [F#] the A [E] string again. _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ Then you're [F#] going to do a little run up on the bottom E string from the third to the
[B] fourth fret using your third and fourth fingers.
[G#] _ _ _ [E] _ _ [B] Open, repeat three [E] times. _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ This one instead [G] of going [G#] third to the fourth you're just going to go third and [E] off. _ _
_ _ _ You're going to lead into the F minor.
[F#] _ _ _ _ [C#] Just playing the top three strings.
You're going to take your finger off the top E, bottom [G] E and hammer back on [F#] again.
_ _ _ _ [E] _ _ _
[F#] _ _ _ _ To the A, [A] _
_ _ _ barring straight across, just playing the _ four _ strings. _ _
_ _ _ _ Then leading into the [Bm] _ first verse you're just going to play an _ E, no hammering there. _ _ _
Then just doing a [G] run down from the third _ _ _ _ _ [Bm] fret to the second fret and then sliding back
down to play the E [E] again. _ _
_ _ _ _ _ [F#] _ _ [E] _
_ _ [E] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ [B] _ _ Sometimes [F#] leading into that too you can do a little run [D#] down like that.
_ [E] _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ [F#] _ _ _
_ _ [E] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ Don't worry too much about how you're [Bm] strumming.
You don't have to be too precise, you can just give it a whack, it sounds a lot better.
This might distort a fair bit in the video too so I'm sorry if it does.
_ _ So that's leading into the first verse.
So when the singing kicks in you're kind of [E] just again starting on the E _
[F#] and no hammering
at this part so you're just [E] going.
Is it my _ _ imagination?
To F minor.
[F#] Finally found a something worth living for.
_ [E] _ _ _
Then you do a run [G] down again. _ _ _ _ _
_ _ I was looking for some action.
_ _ [C#] All I found [E] was cigarettes and alcohol. _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ Okay, in this part you're going to do two little runs up [G#] to the _ [G] third [G#] and fourth frets
on the E string.
_ [G] _ _ _
[G#] So do it [E] twice, _ _ _ [G#] _ _
up [A] to the A.
[F#] Then you're going to be hammering on on your A on the third fret on and off to the fourth
[B] fret and then back down to the E [Bm] fourth fret again.
[A] So _ _ _ [E] then _ _ a little run up again.
_ _ _ [G] _ _ [E] _ _ _
_ [E] _ _ _ _ [A] _ _ _
_ [Em] _ _ _ _ [G#] _ Okay, so on the A, I'll just say that [A] again.
Hammer [G#] on to the fourth, [A] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ [F#] back down to the [Em] E.
_ _ _ _ [E] _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
And then up to the F sharp _ [Bm] minor again.
[F#] _ _ _ _ [E] _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ [C#m] _
[G] Hammering on to the fourth and then down to the E again, up to the A and hammering on
to the fourth fret.
So a lot of [E] hammering on to the fourth. _
_ _ [A] _ _ _ _ _ [E] _
_ _ [E] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ [G] _ _ [B] _
_ Okay, I know I didn't explain it very well as usual.
_ I think you get the drift.
So yeah, it's a good fun song to play.
It does hurt your hand after a while.
But I hope that [B] gives you the general [Bm] idea.
