While this isn't (I guess)=the easiest song on the album to figure out (especially lyric-wise) it'sthe first one I've figured out so far, and IMHO one of the best, soenjoy!The lyrics are probably really screwed up by me, but from what I can make=of 'em, they're some of Greg Graffin's best. Hey, the man has a Ph.D. for=chrissakes!"Cease" -- Bad ReligionB A G F#Flat top pave-ment com-fort me B A G F#Like a chemical reaction or a steamroller, spreading randomly B A G F#There=D5s a distant fuzz of a frequency B A G F#It tickles my ears, rustles under my feet B A G F#And it shakes the leaves off of every treeG A F#Vio-lent-ly B A GWhat protection everlasting peace (??) A BEverything must cease(same chords as before)In-sti-tu-tion on the hillLike a beacon in the mind of an ancestor to remind the people=D5s will (??)There=D5s a shadow stain on the west facadeIt is spread like a cave to entrap the pod (???)And the decent folks find it oh so oddOh so oddWhat protection everlasting peaceEverything must cease(pluck 6th string only -- this part is slow)B A G F#Brave me-mo-rials hewn white stone B A G F#Like the comforting caress of a mother or a friend you've always known(strum from here -- resumes normal Bad Religion tempo) B A G F#It evokes such pain and significanceB A G F#What was once is reduced to remembrance B A G F#And the generations pass without recompenseG A F#Aa-aaaa-hhh... B A GWhat protection everlasting peace A BEverything must ceaseDate: Wed, 28 Feb 1996 21:14:29 -0800 (PST)From: Evan MALVOLIO Hulka Subject: CRD: Cease (revised) - Bad ReligionSONG NAME: CeaseARTIST: Bad ReligionALBUM: The Grey RaceYEAR: 1996TABBED BY: Malvolio Cease -- Bad ReligionKind of an amend to my earlier tab The way this sounds best is if you play it in E (power chords). Then the intro is:EED CCB. the basic chord pattern is E D C B (Black top pavement...) When it goes "Shakes the leaves off of..." C D B, and "Violently" is C B A. "Everything must cease" is E D C ... D E.If that's a little hard to understand, listen to the album. E. Hulka
