Tabs

Okay, no other tabs for this song are accurate :/ (sorry to other contributors who made them)...however,
this tab is dead-on and contains both lead and rhythm!!! :-D

First off, notice that this song uses ska strumming (palm mute downstroke but play upstroke); therefore,
it uses ska chords!!!

The chords used in this song are the following (read top line as high e string and bottom line as low E MajorE
string and asterisk [*] means play as an octave):
