Band: Blink 182
Song: The Party Song
Album: Enema of the State


I know this song has been tabbed before, 
but it still misses some parts and others just doesn't sound right.


Intro with bass and guitar. 

Do you want to come to a party...

G-----------------------------------| Play this 3 times.
D---------22222222--------22222222--|

E-----------------------------------|

Shine the beer for tequila and we headed into the party...

e-------------------------------------------|
B-------------------------------------------|
G-------------------------------------------| Last one before the fast verse.
D---------22222222--------22224444----------|
A-22222222--------44444444--------222222222-|
E-------------------------------------------|

Before Tom starts playing the fast verse part, he does this "dun-din" sound. 
This can be achieved by muting the top string at the 2nd or 3rd 
fret and whilst holding a muted B powerchord. 
Pick the lowest fret and then strum down on the B powerchord.
You can also mute the lowest string on both the 2nd and 3rd fret
by using your thumb and longfinger to get a more filled sound.

Pre-Chorus.

She might be the one maybe we'd have some fun...

Do this 3 times. Then, on the 4th time, play only the first
part with palmuting and then strum down on 
the 2nd one once without palmuting.

Chorus:

But that night I learned some girls try too hard...

The chorus consists of 2 guitars, one that plays the mainriff
with heavy distortion and one that plays an another differnet riff
with heavy distortion. The other riff is basically the interlude
but with 2 different notes added.

A----------4~--------2~----| After this, go back to the verse
