Song: Should've Stayed at Home Tonight
Band: Telegraph (formerly the Skolars)
Album: 10 Songs and More (1997)
Written by the Skolars
Transcribed by Luke Knox (lukeknox@iname.com)

This is a great ska tune by the band formerly called The
Skolars.  They are still the same band, just with a different name.  
Anyway, this is my version of the song, please e-mail me with any 
corrections.  

Intro: Drums, then this Bb riff:

E------1-------1-------1------
B----3---3---3---3---3---3----
G--3-------2-------0-------2--
D-----------------------------
A-----------------------------      * Play this 4x
E-----------------------------

Verse:
(Played with fast ska upstrokes)

Bb    Eb    Bb    F
E---(6)---(6)---(6)---(8)---
B----6-----8-----6-----10---
G----7-----8-----7-----10---
D----8-----8-----8-----10---
A---------------------------
E---------------------------

Here's how the rythym goes from the start, pretty much 
throughout the song:
Bb        Eb               Bb    F
Should've stayed at home tonight.  .  .  .  .   

Bridge:
   Ab   G
E--4----3--
B--4----3--
G--5----4--
D--6----5--
A--6----5--
E--4----3--

Lyrics: (my version of them)
(chorus)
Should've stayed at home tonight. ...
(bridge)
At the show, about a half past ten. He ...
(verse)
That's when I saw him, in the middle of ....
(Horn solo)
Hey Hey  Should've ...(4x)   Yeah, ho!

There it is! If you don't have this CD, and you're a ska-core fan, I 
suggest you run to your local record store now and pick it up. It will 
surprise you. I hope you enjoy the tab.
