Motorcycle Drive By tab by Third Eye Blind

Song: Motorcycle Drive By
Artist: Third Eye Blind
Album: Third Eye Blind on Elektra records
Lyrics and music: Stephen Jenkins
Tabbed by: Angell Tsang "a-cute-angle@mailexcite.com"

I tabbed this as accurately as I could.  It's an awesome song,
especially when it kicks into the distortion.  I love the drums
in this song too.  I think they should release this one as their
next single.  There's no real verse/chorus in the song, and I
couldn't decide what was, so I'll leave it to you to decide...

 Acoustic guitar in the beginning...
