Song: Way Back When Artist: Buck 65 Album: Situation Label: Warner Written and Performed By: Buck 65 (and Scratch Bastid I believe?) Tabbed By: ultimatelefty Haven't made a tab in a while, so I figured I'd go easy (I do that a lot!). Not much of a rap fan but love Buck 65, Canadian, doesn't look like a rapper, and doesn't rap like mainstream rappers either! Figured hey, I'll tab him, so I did! Hope somebody looks at this, and likes it, and gives it a rating or a comment, but I'm not too worried :P but still, as always, please rate, comment, and enjoy! e|-----7-------7-------7-----7---------7-------7-------7-----7-----| B|---8---8---8---8---8---8-----8-----8---8---8---8---8---8-----8---| G|-9-------9-------8-------8-----8-7-------7-------8-------8-----8-| D|-----------------------------------------------------------------| A|-----------------------------------------------------------------| E|-----------------------------------------------------------------| This guitar line is played in most parts throughout the song, if you listen you can here it playing behing the lead keyboard(I think it's a keyboard?). There's only one part where the guitar in Way Back When is different, and that's during the beginning of the second verse, which goes like this: 2nd verse

this tab is long enough for a rap song, I'll add in the lyrics for ya's ;D [Verse 1:] Old days golden covering the bases Back when we used to punch each other in the faces Under my skin try on the ions See how it feels let bygones be bygones Past thieves store script to the well known That's when we did it No shit from the elbow Underground meant something low water apocolypse Cast in the trees Robots & rocket ships [Chorus:] Way back when,Solid Gold,That song on the radio's nice (x4) [Verse 2:] Face for hands Trash in the can Cash in the plan Flash in the pan Baseball, baseball Makin' the catches Tearin the roof off Playing with matches Bump to bruise Dumped by the girlfriend Satan n Santa Claus Waiting for the world's end Dancing in the bathroom Suffering in hatred Cutting the trees down but nothing is sacred Drunk by lightning Brand new exciting bands Writing grants we might have had a fighting chance Words like weapons that dealt a crushing blow Under the stars on the edge of touch & go Boogey man, dirty books, fingers crossed just in case Sadly mistaken Trying to make it to second base Men drew lines/ Young boys drew knives Every study Every body had to lie [Chorus:] Way back when,Solid Gold,That song on the radio's nice (x4) [Bridge:] Right right back to the past Like it was, like it was Cause it ain't like it was in the old days [Verse 3:] Dry heaves it's always so wide, grief Had to learn just to be so na?ve Odd jobs about stories & soul models Living in a world of superheros and role models Big deals out of limits of friendship Stopping stars, photoshopping stars cars off bridges Man of the rodeo Women of burlesque Epic battles & apples on the teacher's desk Crying wolves, awaking in the cave Weakness secrets taken to the grave The bigger, the better Unfair & so drastic Things made it work, long days and no plastic Fuzi's way to turn 45ths, 33rds Limits untested First kisses & dirty words Devils in the details God saw air, buddy Bad joke but ha ha very funny! [Chorus:] Way back when, Solid Gold, That song on the radio's nice (x4) Way,back,when Cause it ain't like it was in the old days Old days, old days ************************************ | / slide up | \ slide down | h hammer-on | p pull-off | ~ vibrato | + harmonic | x Mute note | b Bend | pb Pre-bend | br Bend release | pbr Pre-bend release | brb Bend release bend ************************************
