                             Motorcycle - The Front Bottoms
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Tabbed by: Corey R.

I will try to add more lead parts as I figure them out. For now, I have the chords for the full song and the
lead for the intro, prechorus thing (acting cool), and verse.

Tuning: Standard
Listening to the song for exact timing for both the rhythm and lead parts
