			     ROMANTIC RIGHTS - Death From Above 1979
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Tabbed By : Jon Peters

Hey, everyone. This is the first tab I've submitted, but it's a good one.
Most of the other tabs for this song aren't that great, so I decided to contribute.

Standard Tuning

The hardest part of this song is recreating the unearthly noise JFK is making at the beginning.
It is impossible to get exactly right, but what he is doing is playing a low G, followed 
a series
of pick scrapes (running the side of the pick up the muted string to create a scratchy 
This
will only sound right with a massive amount of distortion, but don't worry about it too 
I'll
denote the scratching with an "x".

Intro:
G|----------------|
D|----------------|
A|----------------|
E|-3--x-x-x--x--x-|
Repeat this 15 times, then on the 16th, play:
G|----------------|
D|----------------|
A|----------------|
E|-3--x-x-3/15\3--|

Verse:
This set of four bars is repeated multiple times.
G|----------------|----------------|----------------|--------------3-|
D|--------------3-|-1--------------|--------------3-|-1--------------|
A|----------------|-----3----------|----------------|-----3----------|
E|-3--3--1-3------|---------3--5-6-|-3--3--1-3------|---------3--5---|

Chorus:
This set of four bars is repeated.
G|----------------|------------8--9|----------------|------------9--8|
D|------------7--8|----------------|------------7--8|----------------|
A|----------------|----------------|----------------|----------------|
E|-8-8-8-8-8------|---8-8-8-8------|---8-8-8-8------|---8-8-8-8------|

Outro:

G|----------------|-------------8b-|
D|-------8--7--8\-|-------8--7-----| This is repeated a few times.
A|----------------|----------------|
E|-6--8-----------|-6--8-----------|

G|----------------|----------------|
D|-------10-10-10-|-10-10-7-7-8-7--|
A|----------------|---------------8|
E|-6--8-----------|----------------|

Repeat this final riff a few times. He ends the song by playing the -6--8- on the E 
and sliding down from there.

Hope you enjoy! DFA is the greatest band ever.
