Lyrics and music: Stephan Jenkins
Tabbed by: Angell Tsang "a-cute-angle@mailexcite.com"
Corrections by Ryan Lue < rlue at ucsd dot edu >
I tabbed this as accurately as I could. It's an awesome song,
especially when it kicks into the distortion. I love the drums
in this song too. I think they should release this one as their
next single. There's no real verse/chorus in the song, and I
couldn't decide what was, so I'll leave it to you to decide...
Corrector's note: I know I'm chiming in about seven years late
here; I feel at once old and n00bish. I had one major correction,
just one note changed in the second measure of the song, and a
little addition to the transition between the first verse and the
second, but being anal retentive as I am, I've taken some liberties
in the formatting and the chord naming.
Acoustic guitar in the beginning...
