Tabbed By: PsuShredder

Notes:

This song, like most alk3 songs, kicks ass with its creative lyrics and simplistic, loud 80’s style punk guitar.  
Tab should be pretty easy to follow, so I didn’t include a song structure list at the end.  
Again, alk3 quietly tracked in a lead guitar part over the main chords for the intro and chorus/outro. 
I think this is kind of cheap since Skiba is alk3’s only live guitarist, but what can you do? 
Tab is 100% accurate, knock yourself out.
