Guitar Tab

"Don't Speak" - No Doubt

Tabbed by:  Steve Jang - Just a 16 year-old kid who's been playing the
guitar for almost 2 years - but very good!  ;)

Okay, a lot of people couldn't figure out the little parts of the song
and e-mailed me about it, so I just decided to tab out everything in
the song.  It's now complete.

BTW: The chord names in the intro and verses don't necessarily represent
the name of the actual chords, but your fingering position.  All of these
are barre-chords.
