                                ALGEBRA ONE - Fireball
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

By: Derek Bond  bonder@bethel.edu

This song is nearly impossible to find, but well worth the search.  It is one
of the great unknowns.  It is song #8 on the Take Action sampler by Sub City
Records.  I think Algebra One is signed onto a label called Delmar Records,
but I can't find them on the Internet anywhere.  I wrote down each time the
chords change but left the strumming up to you to figure out (which is not
very hard).  If you know this song, you love it.  If anyone knows where I can
get one of their CD's or what label they are on for sure I would greatly
appreciate it if you would email me with the info.

Repeat the finger picking part three more times then into the chorus.

Repeat chorus once more, then the finger picking four times for the verse.

Repeat the chorus twice, then into the bridge.

Repeat the chorus twice, play the bridge again, then slow it down to this.

Now one guitar plays the riff above this and the second plays the one below.
    C#         A         E          E
e|--------------------------------------------------------------------------|
B|---------2P0--------------------------------------------------------------|
G|------4----------2-2P1-----1--1-------1--1--------------------------------|
D|----2----------2---------2------2---2------2------------------------------|
A|--4----------0------------------------------------------------------------|
E|-----------------------0----------0---------------------------------------|

Repeat that again, then the second guitar still plays its riff while the
first guitar plays the following power chords.
    C#   A   E
e|--------------------------------------------------------------------------|
B|--------------------------------------------------------------------------|
G|--9--------9----------9-11-13---------------------------------------------|
D|--11---7---9--------------------------------------------------------------|
A|--11---7---7--------------------------------------------------------------|
E|--9----5------------------------------------------------------------------|

The second guitar stops and you basically repeat the chords to the end of
the song, and that's it.  It's pretty long but good until the very last drop.
