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.

2ND VERSE: (played same as 1st Verse)
Can't think straight, can't decide
Time's running out 'cause there's nowhere to hide
Where to run, what to do
You better look out 'cause they're coming for you

_____________________________________________________________________________
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
