Song: Date Rape
Band: Sublime
Album: Stand By Your Van (LIVE)
Tabber: Shawn Donovan / Adam English
Here's yet another version of this awesome song. My friend adam tabbed this song, i did little variations to
how i wanted it to sound, not much difference. This version is higher than the (40oz to freedom) album version.
Thanks to adam for helpin me with this. I have stumbled upon the "Jah Wont Pay The Bills", which is their demo tape they put out for record labels to hear... this was like 2 years before 40ox To Freedom came out.. so, if ya want a copy of the first date rape... email me, and i'll send it to ya crackcityrocker_87@hotmail.com. So enough of my talkin, heres the tab. ((((H = Hammer P= Pluck ~ = Let Ring))))
