                        "Taking Too Long" - Wipers

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.

E|-5-----5-------3-----------------------------------------------------------|

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.

   Guitar I (Hinting at the chorus)

  "Cause you're takin' so long"

D|--------------4---------5--------------------------------------------------|

Chorus
   Guitar I

                                             "It's takin', takin', take it!"

A|-4----5----2----4----5----7----9----2----4----5----7----9------------------|
E|-2----3----0----2----3----5----7----0----2----3----5----7------------------|

After the chorus...

e|--(This riff ?  4 times. The last time, only play the 7 and 4 chord twice)--|
B|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|
G|-6-6-6--6-6-6-6-4-4-4-4--(Then play...)-----4--------4--------4--------4---|(Then go into the "2h3p2" riff)
D|-7-7-7--7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7------------------5--------5--------5--------5------|
A|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|
E|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|

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.
