(Pop)Ular SciencE by Bayside From The Walking Wounded (2007) Transcribed by Jason Florentino February 2011 I'm kinda sick so I thought I'd finally figure out this song. This is what I've got so far I'm way too lazy and (believe it or not) too busy to lift the solo and all the cool backing shit that they do. But it's enough for you to sing with it. And that's all I want to do right now! Enjoy! Notes in parentheses are harmonies (they're optional) That "beat" line below the tab denotes down beats. Or when you should tap your foot. Played fast. With kind of a shuffle feel.
