		      Dead Milkmen - Ringo Buys ARifle (x02220@1)-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Tabbed by: Ben Gladdle (moose9377@hotmail.com)

I recommend playing this with a capo on 2. This way, the intro/verse
riff is a LOT easier. Also, please help! I need the rest of the
words!

Use bar chords throughout, but if you're using the capo, the F in the
interlude bit will have to be played higher up. eg. x-8-10-10-10-8 (chord
is not relative to capo, refers to actual frets!)


Intro/Verse Riff:
----------------
Tabbing here IS relative to capo, but chord names are kept normal (as if
the capo wasn't there). So it is basically a B chord, but here it will
look like an A. If this confuses you, please just ask! If you don't have
a capo, just play a B chord (x24442) or you can even try playing the B
with all the sus variations as below, but it's very difficult without a
capo.

   B (x2444x@1)                                             F#E--0-0-2-0-0-0--|--0-0-0-0-0-0--|--0-0-2-0-0-0--|--0---------| (244322@1)B--2-2-2-2-3-2--|--2-2-3-2-0-2--|--2-2-2-2-3-2--|--0---------|
G--2-2-2-2-2-2--|--2-2-2-2-2-2--|--2-2-2-2-2-2--|--1---------|
D--2-2-2-2-2-2--|--2-2-2-2-2-2--|--2-2-2-2-2-2--|--2-.......-|
A--0-0-0-0-0-0--|--0-0-0-0-0-0--|--0-0-0-0-0-0--|--2---------|
E---------------|---------------|---------------|--0---------|

Timing is approximate, but fairly close.


Again, all the chords throughout the entire tab are given as actual bar
chords, so play them the same no matter whether you've got a capo on or
not. I'm sure you'll figure it out.
