Capo: 2.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Dead Milkmen - Ringo Buys A Rifle ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Tabbed by: Ben Gladdle (moose9377@hotmail.com) I recommend playing this with a capo on 2. This way, the intro/verse riff is a LOT easier. Also, please help! I need the rest of the words! Use bar chords throughout, but if you're using the capo, the F in the interlude bit will have to be played higher up. eg. x-8-10-10-10-8 (chord is not relative to capo, refers to actual frets!) Intro/Verse Riff: ---------------- Tabbing here IS relative to capo, but chord names are kept normal (as if the capo wasn't there). So it is basically a B chord, but here it will look like an A. If this confuses you, please just ask! If you don't have a capo, just play a B chord (x24442) or you can even try playing the B with all the sus variations as below, but it's very difficult without a capo. B F# E--0-0-2-0-0-0--|--0-0-0-0-0-0--|--0-0-2-0-0-0--|--0---------| B--2-2-2-2-3-2--|--2-2-3-2-0-2--|--2-2-2-2-3-2--|--0---------| G--2-2-2-2-2-2--|--2-2-2-2-2-2--|--2-2-2-2-2-2--|--1---------| D--2-2-2-2-2-2--|--2-2-2-2-2-2--|--2-2-2-2-2-2--|--2-.......-| A--0-0-0-0-0-0--|--0-0-0-0-0-0--|--0-0-0-0-0-0--|--2---------| E---------------|---------------|---------------|--0---------| Timing is approximate, but fairly close. Again, all the chords throughout the entire tab are given as actual bar chords, so play them the same no matter whether you've got a capo on or not. I'm sure you'll figure it out. verse: (with verse riff of course)
