Let's get one thing straight: Operation Ivy is the greatest band of all

              G-7-5-7-5---------
              D---------8-5-8-5-

Then repeat chorus, with this riff:
E-----------------
B-----------------
G-------7-7-5-----
D-8-5-8-------8-5-

Next, play verse again, with the same riff as the last chorus. Play
chorus again after that, with the original riff. Then,

Bridge:
[Bb][C][F]                       [C][Bb][F]
           I didn't get it then...
    [Bb][C][F]                      [C]
now.        Caution my friend, don't ....
[Bb]    [F]
'till you know you can ....

Then repeat chorus, with palm muting after the G, and that's it! Let me
know if there's a better way to play this song, or if you have any
comments, questions, etc
