Date: Fri, 13 Oct 95 21:23:20 EDT From: Winston Campbell <jieuryli@eden.rutgers.edu> Subject: THE TEACHERS ARE AFRAID OF THE PUPILS by Morrissey What can I say about this. I think, pretty sure, that the violin riff that plays out through the whole eleven minutes of the song can be played as (although a several violins would be much better) is: E ---6------4----------3------2--------| B ------------------------------4------| G -7----------6------5-----------------| D -------------------------------------| A -------------------------------------| E -------------------------------------| The weird thing about this song is that there are many extemporaneous guitar parts and that violin line keeps repeating. Now, what makes this song interesting is the underlying droning bass and the song~s mood swings. I am not sure what chords are being played as opposed to them being major or minor. It is all trivial to me. So keep in mind that my transcription (the chords on top of the words) are merely which note the bass would play. You can play them chord wise (of course), but if you do I suggest you play them in a power-chord way, especially after the first -to be finished would be a relief- part, where the song goes to a new rocking height (you know what I mean). So here we go: Intro: Bb Db C B (played six times) Bb
there~s Gtoo many peoF#ple A Gplanning your Ebdownfall B Bb when your Gspirit~s on F#trial A these Gnights can be frighteEbning B Bb
Bbsleep transports Dbsadness C to some other mid-brainB Bb and Bbsomebody hDbere will Cnot be here next yearB Bb
so you Gstand by the F#board A full of Gfear and intEbention B Bb and if you Gthink that they~re lF#istening well.A..you~ve gGot to be jokiEbng B Bb
oh you Bbunderstand Dbchange andC you think it~s essentBial but when your proBbfession is GhumiliatiF#on A G Eb B
say the Bbwrong wordsG to our F#children we~ll hAave you oh Gyes, we~ll Ebhave you B lay a Bbhand on our cDbhildren and it~s Cnever too late to hBave you Bb
Bbmucous on your Dbcollar C a nail up through the sBtaff chair Bb a bGlade in your F#soap pan A you Gcry into your pEbillow
Bto be Bbfinished would Gbe a reF#lief to be Afinished would Gbe a reEblief Bto be Bbfinished would be a reDblief to be Cfinished would be a reBlief to be Bbfinished would be a reDblief to be Cfinished would be a reBlief
(my favourite part of the song...where it all begins to make sense) Bb G F# F# A G Eb B Bb G F# F# A G Eb B Bb Db C B Bb Db C B Bb G F# F# A G Eb B Bb G F# F# A G Eb B Bb Db C B Bb Db C B Okay, that guitar riff (which is repeated six times) is played with the Bb, Db, C, B bass parts. About now you should get the whole gist of the song (it really has two parts to it). The guitar riff is: Bb Db C B E ---------6-------|---------6-------|-----------8--------|---------7-------| B -------6---6-----|-------6---6-----|---------8---8------|-------7---7-----| G ---7-8-------8-7-|---6-8-------8-6-|----9-10-------10-9-|---8-9-------9-8-| D -8---------------|-8---------------|-10-----------------|-9---------------| A -----------------|-----------------|--------------------|-----------------| E -----------------|-----------------|--------------------|-----------------| After that the following thing is played (again): Bb G F# F# A G Eb B Bb G F# F# A G Eb B Bb Db C B
say the Bbwrong wordsG to our F#children we~ll hAave you oh Gyes, we~ll Ebhave you Blay a Bbhand onG our cF#hildren and it~s Anever too Glate to Ebhave you B
to be Bbfinished would be a Dbrelief to be Cfinished would be a reBlief to be Bbfinished would be a reDblief to be Cfinished would be a reBlief to be Bbfinished would Gbe a reF#lief to be Afinished would Gbe a relief Eb B
Bb G F# F# A G Eb B Bb G F# F# A G Eb B Bb Db C B Bb Db C B The bass and everything fades and that lovely orchestra thing comes in and everything sort of fades from there. You have to escuse my over transcribing everything. I do not know. Aah, please, if you have any comments, criticisms, or just want to shoot the bull right between the eyes, just email me. I will be greatly appreciated. Bye-bye...
