Tuning: E-A-D-G-B-E (Standard)
"Taking Too Long" from the Wipers' sophomore album, "Youth of America". There is
already a tab of this song on this site but it's missing the majority of the song.
I tabbed out the main guitar parts, not the bass or a minor guitar part I think I
can hear but I'm not really sure so I didn't include it.

After these riffs, the first guitar is still playing the main riff and Greg starts
talking/singing, "Didn't realize the sign..." and then he hints at the chorus.

Listen to the song to know how it goes. I didn't go through the whole song since
all the parts are here. Just piece it together.
