Song: Army's On Ecstasy
Artist: Oysterhead
Album: The Grand Pecking Order
Tabbed By: Alex Fraser (funkmasterflea@hotmail.com)

This is my favorite song off of the new Oysterhead
album and also one of the more difficult.

It's in standard EADG tuning, fretted bass.  It uses
Les's normal, slap-pop style.  With a strum on the
chord.

I just took time to figure out the main riff because
the rest is very complex and sometimes hard to hear
every note.

Intro/main riff

G|----------------------5----5------------|
D|----5---------3h5-----5----5------------|
A|----------------------3----3------------|
E|--------0x0-----------------------------|

This same riff plays over and over with some variation.

You're welcome to add anything to it you'd like because
there is a more to this song.  If you do please e-mail
me to let me know.  Thanks!

No Picture Andrew Rhythm Player	#1 by Andrew Clayton at Feb 3, 2007 at 1:11 PM EST
	Don't judge by videos - that's when some director jumps in and adds his spin! The song is definately about drugs sent Soldiers' way from the government... I think Rookamania is right-on. It's to bad that a college professor had to point it out. I never learned anything useful in college either. As far as the song referring to the large picture "circular irony that is war"... I don't think so. Maybe I missed them, but I didn't catch referrences to needless death or needless loss. If anything the line "we are agents of the free" may be stating that this particular group believed in their roll. Music and Hollywood almost always protrays this war as being hated by everyone in it. Maybe for once we have an example that sites the closer reality... or maybe they just liked their drugs.
