Subject: TAB: "Buzzbomb" by Dead Kennedys

Buzzbomb	by the Dead Kennedys
		from the album "Plastic Surgery Disasters"
		tabbed by Tom Mallon (tsmallon@syr.edu)

Most of the guitar parts in this song are a guitar figure that Ray
moves up and down as the chord changes. The figure looks like this
in G:

E -----------------------------------------------
B -----------------------------------------------
G -----------------------------------------------
D ---5-5--------5-5------------------------------
A ---5-5-6-5----5-5-6-5--------------------------
E ---3-3-----6--3-3-----6-3----------------------

Just move that up and down the neck as the chord changes.
Some of the other chords, mainly in the "chorusy" section
("Plow through rest area...") are just barre chords.

          Bb
When I pretend she's near
