Warp 11 — Rage Against The Federation Tab
Rage Against The Federation
Warp 11
Boldly Go Down On Me
Transcriber: Matthew Choat
I got corrections to this tab from the Guitarist of Warp 11 himself! Here is
exactly how he said to play the main riff of the song:
Intro/Riff 1: (x2) When I do the back and forth with the Bb to A, I'm just pulling
off (not tossing off) the A string.
E—|m—Em—Bb—B—B—B—Bb—A—Bb—A—Bb—A
E—|m—Em—Bb—B—B—B—Bb—A—Bb
Verse 1:
Em—Em—Bb—B—B—B—Bb—A—Bb—A—Bb—A
To boldly go — don't you see?
Em—Em—Bb—B—B—B—Bb—A—Bb
Is just a ploy — it's a fucking conspiracy
The final frontier
Is just a lie that kills thousands every year
'Cause you and me — don't you see
Brainwashed at the fucking academy
This red shirt — I'll say it loud
It ain't nothing but a fucking death shroud
Chorus:
Em—G—Em
The Red Shirts are dying
Em—G—Em
The Red Shirts are dying
Em—G—Em
The Red Shirts are dying
Em—G—Em
The Red Shirts are dying
(Riff)
Verse 2: (riff 1)
We beam down, but not back
Before the break we were under attack
"Forward!" Captain cried from the rear and the front rank died
We get the orders — we make it so
We live fast but we don't die slow
Our bones are crushed — our blood is spilled
The prime directive is to fuckin get us
::Repeat Chorus::
Bridge:
Em
The Red Shirts are dying
G
I ain't lying
A—B—A
What they sellin' you buying
G F#—G
While the Captain's satisfying
Em G
His itch in a ditch with some green skinned bitch
A—B—A C B
And the federation grows increasingly rich

Interlude (turn on pimp ass "Rage" guitar effect, the one that sounds like a jet taking off):
Em
I woke up
G
I went up
A G F#
To where the captain's gettin' intimate
Em
I showed up
G
I strolled up
A C B
I looked at him like I don't give a shit
Em
He looked up
G
His dick up
A G F#
But it fell before my scrutiny
Em
He stood up
G
He fucked up
A C B
He didn't know it was a mutiny
(Riff 1)
Mutiny!
Verse 3: (Riff 1)
So we breathe our last breath
Beamed into space or choked to death
A phaser blast, a Klingon assault
Drained of blood and drained of salt
Bat'leth, poison spores
While the captain gets laid by alien whores
Our essence, understand
Distilled in a shape and crushed in a hand
::repeat Chorus::
