Tabs

"We're Only Gonna Die"
as performed by Sublime on the album
"40 Oz To Freedom"
 
This is a Bad Religion cover that (IMO) turned out better than the
original.  There are only four chords in the song:
 
   A  G  D  C majorC
e--5--3--5--3--
B--5--3--7--5--
G--6--4--7--5--
D--7--5--7--5--
A--7--5--5--3--
E--5--3--X--X--
 
The chords are the same during the ska part as during the fast
part...it's all in the strumming...play more of the top of the chord
during the ska part and more of the bottom of the chord during the fast
part....slide chords into each other and hold some during the ska
part...just try to play as fast as possible during the fast part...

The rest of the song just repeats the lyrics and chords faster and faster
with the progression A augmentedA G+G D MajorD A, alternating with the progression (when he
says "Let's Go"):
 
G/A  G/A  G/A  C  G+G
 
Well...that's my interpretation and all my own work...
