SANTERIA by Sublime
Transcribed by Jeremy Roswell (groswell@mailhost2.csusm.edu)

I got sick of asking for the tab so I bought the CD and here's my
rendition of Sublime's "Santeria".  The lyrics in the CD insert are slightly
different from what Bradley actually sings so I changed them below to
get as close as I could to the actual words sung.  All the chords should be
barred.  The E on the 7th fret, the Ab on the 4th, the Dbm also on the 4th
and the B on either the 2nd or more conveniently the 7th.  The chords in the
song might all be power chords, I'm not really sure.  I put the chords along
with the first verse and chorus so you could get the idea.  Each chord is
strummed and muted four times in the verses.  The chorus riff I have included
below is not exactly accurate as is my intro but they are pretty close.  I'll
try and get the solo later but I'm not sure I can do it with my acoustic.
