MTV Get Off The Air - Dead Kennedys Note: The first version of this song I ever heard was the live version, where the horns part is played on guitar. I'm tabbing the studio version, but I'm including horns part on guitar, because that seems a lot more useful. Enjoy. Start off with palm muted power chords, after the bass line is played twice F#5 B5 C#5 e|---------------------------------------------------------------------------| B|---------------------------------------------------------------------------| G|------------------4-4-4-4-6-6-6-6------------------------------------------| D|--4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-6-6-6-6------------------------------------------| A|--4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-2-2-2-2-4-4-4-4------------------------------------------| E|--2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2----------------------------------------------------------|

C#M.T.V. - GeBt off the aF#ir! F#NOW!
There you have it. This is my first tab, so if it somehow came out completely wrong, i The major part that I wanted to contribute was that horns part. Noone ever tabbed it it had horns, but honestly, how many self respecting punk bands have horn players' And for the guitar version of that part, I'm positive it's right. I played it against the studio live versions. Enjoy, and give me a high rating.
