Title: Boom, Like That
Tab by: matagu@o2.pl
Full tone down (d g c f a d) - I was tuned to mark guitar, I don't know
what tuning he is using, anyway, should be ok with
that.
Main melody (with delay) - it isn't exactly that what Mark plays, but
just play sth aroud that chords ;)

Play that above two times before Mark start singing "I'm going to San Bernardino..." and on and on :), until "Or my name is
not Kroc" line. Then the other guitar joins with this:

Then the second verse "The folks line up..."
Along with line "Oughtta be one of these in every town" play this:
d|--------------------------
a|------10h12p10p8---10-----
f|--------------------------
Same as "Wham, bam, you don't wait long, Shake, fries, patty, your gone",
there are few sound before this but I couldn't
figure them out.
Again play "Or my name is not Kroc" part and "Kroc style" fill-in. And here
we go ^__^ - solo 1st! Sorry for no timing, but
I'm too lazy to write it down, it's easy anyway.
