This song (Texts of songs ) uses mostly power chords. I haven't tried to note
the strumming rhythms, because they're pretty variable, and mostly
unimportant--just listen to the record--it's straight forward enough.
(This song (Texts of songs ) is played with two guitars, but I've tabbed the main parts
for one. Some day, I'll tab out the other parts.)
As for the lyrics: these are the best I could make them out. I didn't
try to correlate the background vocals with the main lyrics in verse
2, just try to fit them in as you see fit. As usual, corrections are
welcome.
