SET THE HOUSE ABLAZE

This looks very complicated to understand cos I can't include lyrics but
it's very easy and there's a basic
chord summary at the end. If you listen to the record
you can place all the bits together.

'You was so open-minded...
Repeat riff one throughout (there is no guitar slash
at the start of this verse)
Middle eight:
The middle eight is in two sections:
Here you play the chords:

I think we've lost our perception... etc.
Third time:

second time you play G - flick the rhythm/treble switch very quickly.
Then play this riff x6 during the indechipherable spoken part.

-----2--4--------------
-----------------3--2--Note: 5th time the there is a pinch harmonic (?)on the
7th fret instead of a Bm chord.
Then play Riff 1 x 4 and repeat the chorus
Chorus.
Coda:
Riff 1 is played around 20 times then after about 15
times a rhythm guitar comes in playing Bm G G/F#
and the riff dissapears in the mix and then drops out.
Before coming back along with the rhythm guitar and it's continued until
the song ends on Bm.
