----------------------------------------------------------------------------- EMERGENCY - Girlschool ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Written by: K.McAuliffe/K.Johnson/E.Williams/D.Dufort CD: "Demolition" (1980, Bronze Records/Re-issue: 2004, Sanctuary Records) Tabbed by: Anne Drury (zerofret) Email: zerofret_ad@hotmail.com Date: April 21, 2006 This is a tab of the original version of "Emergency", from the "Demolition" CD. I had intended to also include Jackie's guitar solo from the 2005 re-recording of the song, but I don't have the new version transferred onto a CD yet. It might be added to the tab at a later date.

_____________________________________________________________________________ Notes: For the verses, Kelly uses the following E string root note chords. C D E E --------------------| B --------------------| G --------------------| D --10----12----14----| A --10----12----14----| E --8-----10----12----| I tabbed that part using A string root note chords because it fit the width of the page easier, allowing for four measures across. Cris plays it using A string chords, like in the tab. Just substitute the above chords (they're the same voicing, just a different fretboard position) for the verses, if you prefer them. -Notes inside square brackets (eg. 3rd staff of Intro) indicate pitch rather than fretting position. These will always come after a bent note and a "hold bend" indication. Strike the notes that are inside the brackets while holding the bend. -A bent note followed by a single note inside round brackets (see Outro) is played the same way. (eg. --7^(9)--(9)-- Play a whole tone bend at the 7th fret; strike the string again while holding the bend.) ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- ^...bend (w=whole tone,s=semi,q=quarter) /...slide up h...hammer on \...slide down p...pull off =...hold note hb..hold bend ~...vibrato o o...repeat (This file is the transcriber's own work and represents their interpretation of the song.)
