                             Up On the Sun – Meat Puppets
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Tabbed by: Omri Cohen
Email: i.m.bleach@gmail.com

Tuning: standard

I decided to tab this song out because I noticed UG didn't have a
proper/correct tab; 
one tab has all the chords wrong and the other one is just the intro, so her's the entire thing

Not too much more / Too much more

The rest of the song is just the E Chord being repeated and then the Intro
