This song is quite easy..! The only possible difficulty is the strumming, so just listen to it carefully to get it. :)

Verse 1 (clean ska)

e|--------------------
B|---8--6--4--6-------
G|---8--6--5--6------- 4x
D|---8--6--6--6-------
A|---6--4--6--4-------
E|---------4----------

At the third time a second Guitar plays the first chord with a Flanger effect (I think)
just when the first guitar changes to the second chord.

Bridge (clean ska)

e|---------------------------
B|---6--4--2--4--6--4--------
G|---6--5--3--5--6--5--------
D|---6--6--4--6--6--6--4--6--
A|---4--6--4--6--4--6--2--4--
E|------4--2--4-----4--------

Chorus (distortion)

e|--------------------------- |---------------------
B|--------------------------- |---------------------
G|---8--5-------------------- 2x |---8--6-----6-------- 1x
D|---8--5--3--5--6--11------- |---8--6--6--6--------
A|---6--3--3--5--6--11------- |---6--4--6--4--------
E|---------1--3--4---9------- |---------4-----------

A second Guitar plays (again) the last chord (6-6-4) with a Flanger effect
just when the first does the same (without Flanger)


Verse 1 (clean ska) | Verse 2 (clean ska)
|

e|-------------------- |
B|---8--6--4--6------- |
G|---8--6--5--6------- 2x | When the beat is going faster (Text: "Does it feel like a broken record"),
D|---8--6--6--6------- | you have to play the same chords like in Verse 1, but have to strum every
A|---6--4--6--4------- | chord longer. You also have to play it a bit faster, I think. Just try it
E|---------4---------- | out.

[---]phew Was a piece of hard work.. It sure isn't 100%-ly correct, because it's my first tab,
but it should be ok. If you have any comments, please eMail me ([email protected]) !!
