Artist: Elemeno P Song: Fast Times in Tahoe Album: Love and Disrespect Tabbed by Tim Burke (timburkenz@hotmail.com) This is how I play Fast Times in Tahoe. We've played this song heaps of times and it always gets the biggest applause so it must sound pretty good.

Ab Bb F F# Ab Dbsus2 Playing ping-pong over oceans, messing with emotions, messing with my head. Ab Bb F F# Ab Messing with my head. Dbsus2 Ab Bb F F# Ab Dbsus2 Thirteen hours ago I'm no longer at home fast times in Tahoe! Ab Bb F F# Ab Dbsus2 Three thousand miles away, what can I say? Fast times, fast times too fast for me- Ab Bb F F# Ab And I don't care what you say, to get me out of the way, I've got to get my message... Now hit the foot pedal to crank up the distortion and play as power chords with four down strums per chord. Drums and bass come in.
