Don't Speak tab by No Doubt
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.
