This is my first tab and I'm proud of it. I figured this song out a few years ago after I saw Sandbox live when they were on tour with the Barenaked Ladies... Saw that this wasn't up on the OLGA so I figured this song would be a good place to start my tab writing ;) Zakias[Adam Pigeon] --------------------------------------------------- RIFF ONE ~~~~~~~~ E|---------------------| B|--3-----3---3---3----| G|-----2------------0--| D|--0------------------| Do this three times A|------------3--------| E|---------------------| E|---------------------|----------------------| B|--3-----3---3---3----|--3---3-----3---3-----| G|-----2------------0--|--------0----------0--| D|--0------------------|----------------------| Do this once then repeat A|------------3--------|--2---------3---------| the whole riff as needed E|---------------------|----------------------| --------------------------------------------------- RIFF TWO ~~~~~~~~ p=pull off string E|------------------|----------------|-------------|----------------| B|--6-----8/10---6--|--6------8--L6--|----------5--|------------3---| G|-----0------------|-----0----------|--------5----|---------0------| D|--0---------------|--0-------------|-----0-------|------0---------| A|------------------|----------------|--5----------|---3------------| E|------------------|----------------|-------------|----------------| Do it again except sub in this for the last bar: E|------| B|---3--| G|------| D|------| Nothing too complex here.... ;) A|---3--| E|------| --------------------------------------------------- RIFF THREE ~~~~~~~~~~ Now I know this isn't the way the band does it on the album but this is as good as I could figure out...
