"Kerosene" by Bad Religion off of the album "Recipe For Hate"
(transcribed by David Back, email: sphaeron@csionline.com)
The chords for this song are really divided into three main parts, with
some little variations.
..and of course, an overdriven channel.
Verse Chords:
These are played in a very fast strumming pattern, just copy
off the album as well as you can..

"alone to watch it burn... Kerosene..."
Now after doing that stuff a few times, (just follow the album) you
will come across the "solo" section of the song, with a bridge of sorts
followed by a guitar solo. You play the intro to the chorus just as
you would if a normal chorus was to come about, but then you play
this riff. These are the chords...

You just have to piece it together and play the certain parts when they
come around in the song.
