After sitting down with my guitar and screwing around for a while, I managed to figure out one of the songs. Sounds good to me. Ok, here goes. Chords used: A F G E C e------------------------------------------| B------------------------------------------| G---------------------------------------5--| D-------7-------3-------5-------2-------5--| A-------7-------3-------5-------2-------3--| E-------5-------1-------3-------0----------| Everything is/should be/sounds like palm muted, and the strum pattern is traditional 4/4 up/down etc... nothing weird here.

^AStop! Have a b^Feer, it's on ^Gme, has anyo^Ene ever told y^Aou That you lo^Fok like a s^Gtar, heard it s^Eaid at the b^Aar So I dr^Fink^G, cause it ma^Ekes me ^A Happi^Fer than being al^Gone ^E ^A My good fr^Fiend,^G Johnny W^Ealker ^A Keeps me w^Farm like a c-^G-t ^E

^F Seems like eve^Grybody's g^Aot Something ^GI have n^Fot A re^Gason not to d^Cie Death to ^GMr. Rig^Fht 'Cause t^Ghat's not ^Cme!

Verse repeats itself instrumental, then the chorus again. There are also some instrumental bits (including a long one at the beginning which reminds me of "The Quass" from Punk in Drublic) but I'm either too lazy or too dumb to tab 'em out. GET THE ALBUM WHEN IT COMES OUT. IT ROCKS. More coming: Ramones, Nirvana, NOFX, Operation Ivy, Ash, Exposers etc. :-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-: \ EVAN HULKA | "Someday it's gonna hit you between the eyes / / evahulk@ace.| That the seeds have already been sown \ \ nueva.pvt. | So find your own garden 'cause you still need space to grow / / k12.ca.us | Until that time you will remain alone" \ \"Pogue mahone"-------------------------- "Alone" / /-Irish proverb EXPOSERS ROCK!!!
