The calicoes of pettibon where cultures come to clash

Solo Chords: (This part is kind of iffy, but these chords sound

really good for an acoustic version of the song. Although they may

not be the chords actually used in the song, they use all the

notest that Josh uses in the solo, and give the same feeling if

you're playing alone.)
