                      Government flu
JUST A LITTLE NOTE TO ANYONE WHO DOWNLOADS THIS SONG... I made a mistake 
(okay a bunch of mistakes) and I don't feel like fixing every single one of 
them and its much easier for me to tell you what to do instead of fixing 
them all... 
okay when a power chord is written down like this...
e-|---
B-|-9- it should look like this; e-|----
G-|-9-                           B-|-10-
D-|-7-                           G-|--9-
A-|---                           D-|--7-    
E-|---                           A-|----
                                 E-|----
so just remember... when ever a power chord crosses onto the "B" 
string... move the note one fret higher on the "B" string
