Rage Against The Federation
Warp 11
Boldly Go Down On Me
Transcriber: Matthew Choat
Listen to the song to get the tempo down, he plays this riff really fast and
throughout most of the song.
Intro/Riff 1: (x2)
Em-Em-F#-G-G-G-F#-G-F#-G-F#-G
Em-Em-F#-G-G-F#-G-A
Verse 1:
Em-Em-F#-G-G-G-F#-G-F#-G-F#-G
To boldly go - don’t you see?
Em-Em-F#-G-G-F#-G-A
Is just a ploy - it’s a fucking conspiracy
Em-Em-F#-G-G-G-F#-G-F#-G-F#-G
The final frontier
Em-Em-F#-G-G-F#-G-A
Is just a lie that kills thousands every year
Em-Em-F#-G-G-G-F#-G-F#-G-F#-G
‘Cause you and me - don’t you see
Em-Em-F#-G-G-F#-G-A
Brainwashed at the fucking academy
Em-Em-F#-G-G-G-F#-G-F#-G-F#-G
This red shirt - I’ll say it loud
Em-Em-F#-G-G-F#-G-A
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
Em-Em-F#-G-G-G-F#-G-F#-G-F#-G
Em-Em-F#-G-G-F#-G-A
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::
