SET THE HOUSE ABLAZE
(Paul Weller)
 
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.
 
Chords used:
 
Bm:   x24432
G:    320033
Eb:   xx5343
Cm:   x35543
D:    xx0232
F#m:  244222
C#m:  x46654
A:    x02220
G/F#: 2x0033
 
Intro:
 
Guitar 1:
 
RIFF 1
 
N.C.

The seventh time this riff is played guitar 2 comes in with a single chord:

Verse One (repeat riff 1 throughout)

The chords for the verse are Bm and G - the G is implied by the bass.
 
Chorus
 
                                                       Eb                          Cm

 Something you ...
 
Back to riff one (x12)
 
Verse two
     (Bm)
'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:
 
  F#m                     C#m        (x4)
I think we've lost our perception... etc.
 
Third time:
 
  C#m
 
--4--4-----
--5--5-----
--6--6-----
--6--6-----
--4--4-----
--------x\ (scrape plectrum down string quickly)
..reason...
 
  D                   C#m           A          (x3)
I wish that there was something.....do about it...
 
Repeat chorus.
 
Break:
 
Bm          G
--2--|-----|--3--|-----|
--3--|-----|--3--|-----|
--4--|-----|--0--|-----| (x2)
--4--|-----|--2--|-----|
-----|-----|--3--|-----|
 
second time you play G - flick the rhythm/treble switch very quickly.
 
Then play this riff x6 during the indechipherable spoken part.
 
  Bm             G  G/F#
--2--------------------
--3--------------------
--4--------------------
--4--------0--2--------
-----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.
 
So, a brief summary is
 
Intro: Bm G (x6)
 
Verse: Bm G (x3)
 
Chorus: Eb Cm (x3) D
 
Verse two: Bm G (x2)
 
Middle eight: F#m C#m (x4) D C#m A (x2) A
 
Chorus: as chorus 1
 
Break: Bm G (x2)
 
Spoken bit: Bm G G/F# (x6)
 
Chorus: as chorus 1
 
Coda: Bm G G/F# to end.
 
I hope you understand - if I'm completely wrong please
correct me! Cheers.
