I scoured the internet for a complete version of this song and couldn't find one - I also can't seem to find a Harvey Danger songbook, which stinks too. Anyways - this isn't probably perfect, its based on my ear and watching a couple of live performances to glean what I could to complete this tab. I hope it's helpful to someone out there. This version also has the complete lyrics, and the associated notes/chords - an Internet first, I believe. This song is played with a bass and guitar, and they take turns carrying the song, so some of the parts included here are probably bass parts and some are guitar parts - like I said, its not note-for-note perfect, but it may just be the best version available, until someone outdoes me. :D
