(We Don't Need This) Fascist Groove Thang — Heaven 17
Chords and lyrics for (We Don't Need This) Fascist Groove Thang by Heaven 17 (key of Dm).
Verse 1
Heaven 17 - (We Don't Need This) Fascist Groove Thang
... IMHO -just as relevant now as it was back in 1981 ...
There's only two basic chord progressions für the whole song:
A - F - G - D for Intro, Chorus and Outro
A - F - G - C/G E for Verse
The C/G to E change is a quicker one, so one downstroke of C/G and then
immediately a downstroke on E.
As for the funky rhythm, just try to get a feel. The "end-of-line" chord (F
or C/G to E) in the verse
sometimes comes on the last syllable of the last word, sometimes it comes
right with the end of the word and
sometimes a bit after it.
Hope that makes sense ….
