Into The Valley by Skids THE SKIDS - INTO THE VALLEY ALBUM - SCARED TO DANCE From: maule_andy@hotmail.com This punk anthem from 1978 saw the marriage of Stuart Adamson's unflinching guitar barrage with Richard Jobson's indecipherable vocal exertions.....a classic! The intro/main riff is played to a large extent with the strings palm muted - you'll have to listen to the recording to get the hang of it. Anyway,crank it up and enjoy. The song is in E. h - hammer on p - pull off b - bend up r - release / - slide up \ - slide down ~ - vibrato INTRO/MAIN RIFF - [Riff 1] E|--------------------|----------------------------| B|--------------------|----------------------------| G|---------9-9-9--8-8-|----------------------------| D|--9-9-9--7-7-7--9-9-|-11-11-11--11-11-11--11-11--| A|--7-7-7-------------|-0--0--0---0--0--0---0--0---| E|--------------------|----------------------------| E|-----------------|---------------------| B|-----------------|---------------------| G|--7-7-7-7-7-9-7--|---------------------| D|--7-7-7-7-7-7-7--|--9/11-9-11-9-9-9-9--| A|-----------------|--0-0--0-0--7-7-7-7--| E|-----------------|---------------------| E|-----------------|---------------------------| B|-----------------|---------------------------| G|--7-7-7-7-7-9-7--|---------------------------| D|--7-7-7-7-7-7-7--|-9/11-9-11-9-9-9/11-9-11-9-| A|-----------------|-0-0--0-0--7-7-0-0--0-0--7-| E|-----------------|---------------------------| E|---------------------|----------------------| B|---------------------|----------------------| G|---------9-9-9--8-8--|--9-9-9--9--9-9-9--9--| D|--9-9-9--7-7-7--9-9--|--7-7-7--7--7-7-7--7--| A|--7-7-7--------------|--0-0-0--0--0-0-0--0--| E|---------------------|----------------------| E|--------------|---------------------|-------------| B|--------------|---------------------|-------------| G|-99-9-9-999-9-|-99-9/11\9-99-9/11\9-|-99-9/11\9-9-| D|-99-9-9-999-9-|-99-9/11\9-99-9/11\9-|-99-9/11\9-9-| A|-77-7-7-777-7-|-77-7/9-\7-77-7/9-\7-|-77-7/9-\7-7-| E|-00-0-0-000-0-|-00--------00--------|-00--------0-| VERSE 1 - [Riff 1]*play 1st 6 bars as before then repeat bars 5 & 6 followed by bars 1 & 2 CHORUS - [Riff 2]*1st time chorus is played add on 2 bars at the end similar to last bar of [Riff 1] E|---------------------|--------------| B|---------------------|--------------| G|---------------------|--9-----------| D|---------------------|--9---9--7-7--| A|--666/7-77--666/7-77-|--7---9--7-7--| E|--000-0-00--000-0-00-|------7--5-5--| E|---------------------|-----------------| B|---------------------|-----------------| G|---------------------|--9--------------| D|---------------------|--9---9--7-7/9-9-| A|--666/7-77--666/7-77-|--7---9--7-7/9-9-| E|--000-0-00--000-0-00-|------7--5-5/7-7-| E|---------------------|--------------| B|---------------------|--------------| G|---------------------|--9------9-9--| D|---------------------|--9---9--9-9--| A|--666/7-77--666/7-77-|--7---9--7-7--| E|--000-0-00--000-0-00-|------7-------| VERSE 2 - [Riff 1]*played as per VERSE 1 CHORUS SOLO - [Riff 3]*1st 2 bars accompanied by 1st 2 bars of Riff 1 E|------------|---------------------------| B|------------|----------------12---------| G|------------|-----------9-11-11b13-11-9~| D|-9h11p9~~~~~|------9-11-----------------| A|------------|-9-11----------------------| E|------------|---------------------------| E|-19b21r19-16-19b21r19-16----|-19-17-16h17p16----| B|-------------------------17-|----------------17-| G|----------------------------|-------------------| D|----------------------------|-------------------| A|----------------------------|-------------------| E|----------------------------|-------------------| E|-19b21r19-16-19b21r19-16----| B|-------------------------17-| G|----------------------------| D|----------------------------| A|----------------------------| E|----------------------------| E|-14b16r14-12~1212h14p12----------------------| B|------------------------12h14p12-------------| G|---------------------------------11h14p11----| D|------------------------------------------14-| A|---------------------------------------------| E|---------------------------------------------| VERSE 3 - [Riff 1]*played as per VERSE 1 CHORUS VERSE TO FADE OUT www.TAB6.com
