This Ain't No Picnic tab by Minutemen

Hey, how's it goin.  I'm a huge Minutemen fan and there isn't enough of
tab of them on the net.  This is a great song off of the Double Nickels
On The Dime CD, and you can also find it on Ballot Result.  My band did
a cover of it on our demo tape.

The intro is the only tough part...

e--------0---------0---------0----------------------------------------------
B--8-8---7---6-6---5---4-4---3----------------------------------------------
G--7-7---6---5-5---4---3-3---2--------8-------------------------------------

                                   hold this
                                     chord

I'm not even going to try to indicate the strumming, it's really fast.  You
can get it by listening to the recording.  Here are the chords:
      E?     and    C?
e--------------------------------------------------------------------------
B------8-------------------------------------------------------------------
G------7------------9------------------------------------------------------
D------6------------8------------------------------------------------------
A------7------------7------------------------------------------------------
E--0-0-0------------8------------------------------------------------------

Just strum them and get the clicks in.  The name of the chords is something
like E7#9 or something, but people I know usually just call it "that Hendrix
chord."  That's the verse part, and the chorus is just drums.

C?  Hey mister, don't look down on me
E?  For what I believe (etc.)

It goes intro-verse-chorus-solo (over verse)-verse-chorus

the outro is just E- --0000000------

I just use the E-Pentatonic scale on the twelth fret for the solo...
I'm sure d would approve

Here's the Bass

For the intro, just stand there and look cool.  When the guitarist starts
slamming on E?, the second bar come in with G---/9 and hold it.
Then go into
  C?                              E?

I think it varies a little bit, but Watt is real hard to tab.  Enjoy, and
e-mail me with some more Minutemen, DK, or Living Colour tab if ya get any.
