Good tab, but at the end t could be tabbed a little better than just putting the words in a paragraph and then putting the tab above them. When I looked at the tab the first time I got lost, i didn't know if I was supposed to play the line of tab before of after the paragraph of lyrics. Besides this it is a great tab.

eli	March 6, 2003, 16:17
look man get the 7 9 crap out its 6 88 u did it all wrong thtas the cheep way to play it

Nick	April 9, 2003, 3:16
sweet tab man. eli if he you dont tune it 1/2 step down, u cant play the Outro... and its not cheap

kellie	April 14, 2003, 21:52
it's not 7/9 it's 6/8. and it's still a little off, but not too bad.

eli	May 23, 2003, 2:39
nick u can ok im not gonna tab it out but u use the chords for the beggining and u play it twice each

Majikal Fairah	July 8, 2003, 8:35
this tab fucking sucks, if you wanna play it properly then i suggest 6/8. but if all you little pussys on your "guitars" wanna play in your punk ass rock bands then go ahead playin it 7/9 just so that u can look "cool" infront of your loser mates

boone	August 28, 2003, 19:07
HEY I HAVE AN IDEA how about we all just rock to it and stop bein 3 year olds about the tab its great ......who cares what other people think how its played....sounds good to me. LOVE GOD HATE SATAN PEACE

wints	September 3, 2003, 14:04
i have used this tab in my band and it works fine. they.............

Hi	December 18, 2003, 23:58
this tab is fucking awsome. i dont know what you are thinking with 6 88 shit. watever nice tab dude

Jimmy	December 29, 2003, 4:33
hey smart guys saying its 688 you must not know how to play guitar. if your too lazy to tune your guitar down a half step you should just quit playing guitar and play keyboard er something. if you have time to visit a music shop and look at the green day tab book it says all the songs on the dookie album is tuned a half step down. dumbasses

katie	February 15, 2004, 2:58
it doesnt matter which way you play it rater it be 7/9 or 6/8 it still kicks ass, now please stop raggin on the guy and get over it, at least he took the time to tab it out.

peace	February 18, 2004, 4:42
chill out everyone, just say if the tab is good or not, ya don't have to get all snappy, your crazy Majikal Fairah

bron	July 5, 2004, 20:19
iv jus read all the comments & i wana say that if u don't like it then don't play it use something else or do ur own thing, stress less do wat makes u happy don't tear others apart jus coz uv had a bad day or wateva

lismobolinger	November 10, 2004, 0:33
good tab man. keep it up. and to all of the would-be musicians above...music isn't about correctitude...it's passion. just feel it and quite being so cridical... so dig the sticks out of your asses and rock on.

clicknrip	December 5, 2004, 15:54
christ, it dont matter which one you use u gotta transpose songs into different keys for your lead singer any way!

Jc	February 22, 2005, 6:18
