Tuning:
Date: Sat, 25 May 1996 19:11:51 -0400 From: Jon Douma RANCID - ROOTS RADICALS Guitar Tab (Cross your fingers and hope that my mail program doesn't sucK) Ok, here's my tab. I figured it out by listening to the CD and watching them play it on Saturday Night Live. Here goes... CHORDS: (I put down three variations, on SNL, RAncid used mostly the open chords, but the powerchords are easier and sound just as good, if not better. The other set of powerchords is an octave up and maybe you'd rather play it with them) Standard Tuning (E,A,D,G,B,E - from bottom) --0-- ----- ------ --1-- ----- --12-- C --0-- or --5-- or --12-- --2-- --5-- --10-- --3-- --3-- ---X-- --0-- --X-- ---X-- --1-- --0-- ----- ------ --1-- --0-- ----- ------ F --2--or--0-- or ----- or --10-- --3-- --2-- --3-- --10-- --1-- --3-- --3-- ---8-- --1-- --1-- --1-- ---X-- --3-- ----- ------ --0-- ----- ------ G --0-- or ----- or --12-- --0-- --5-- --12-- --2-- --5-- --10-- --3-- --3-- ---X-- --2-- ----- ------ --3-- ----- --14-- D --2-- or --7-- or --14-- ----- --7-- --12-- ----- --5-- ------ ----- --X-- ------ VERSE

The solo isn't quite right, so if ya got something better, send it over. Thanks, enjoy. 10-4, Jon Oh, one more thing. Could you send me Missionary, Knowledge, and Sound System by OpIvy when you have time? Thanks. 10-4, Jon
