Who'll Be The Next In Line?
Written by Ray Davies. Tabbed by Christopher Carl Heckman
There are two chords to this song: G and C. The riff which goes along
with these chords during the verse is tabbed below and played once each
"chord change".:
G C
E-----------------|-----------------|
B-----------------|-----------------|
G-----------------|-----------------|
D-----------------|-------5--3--2---|
A-------5--3--2---|--3--------------|
E--3--------------|-----------------|
During the bridge ("One day you'll find out ..."), the riff is
simplified
by omitting the C (during the G chord) and the F (during the C chord).

Amongst the many chord changes archived here, please note that
those to Who'll be the NExt in Line are incorrect. It's not G to
C(as described), rather G to F, thence to E7 and finishing at A7,
before returning to G for 2d verse. At bridge, "Someday you'll find
out...' commences in C (from A7 preceding); back to G, thence to E7
and A7 again.

I thought I might send you what I believe to be a far more accurate interpretation
of "Who'll Be the Next in Line?"
I've only added the chord when it changes, or at the start of a new line if the
chord is unchanged.
The tabs for the riff are also wrong, and there are as many riffs as there are
chords (which are more than the two proposed in the current version). That's for
another lazy, sunny afternoon for me to figure out.
