Band - NOFX Song - The Longest Line Album - The Longest Line Transcribed by Jacob Roth email me at rothja@knight.cmi.k12.il.us This is NOFX's the longest line, and this version is absolutely PERFECT. The other versions on the site sucked so I decided to show them how it's done. The solo is absolutely perfect, but it sounds cooler if you mess around with it a little. Lyrics are included to help you figure out what's what. It's a really straight forward punk song. Listen to the song to get the timings down for the solo, but this song is really easy. Standard Tuning. Someone do me a favor and tab 'Clams Have Feelings Too" and the solo for "Dinosaurs Will Die". 'Pump up the Valuum' rocks! If you cannot figure this out, you are really dumb. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Guitar A is clean, Guitar B is distorted For all of this song, except the solo, Guitar A is in the right background, barely audible. Verse (x2) Guitar A Palm mutes all notes.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Lyrics Verse In the darkest tunnel it's nice to see a light, or just a headlight like the one that's headed right for me It would be nice if things could turn out right Turn out right, yeah Don't think I'll ever see the day Bridge I must have Done something wrong I maybe pissed off God and 2nd Verse I think of Chinese food when I think of life it's sweet and sour my life is sweet as succharine You know three week old milk and grapes are not not the same, no I am the one Johnny Carcinogen Bridge I must have ***ed with some witch in turn she cursed me cursed my life Chorus At the end of the longest line that's where I will always be if you need to find me just go to the end of the longest line -Solo- 3rd Verse But Officer that was a yellow light The light was red, son insubordination, reckless driving This can't be right I must be wrong I don't belong this world is much to dangerous for someone lacking luck, like me Chorus At the end of the longest line that's where I will always be if you need to find me just go to the end of the longest line Outro Chorus At the end of the longest line ------------------------------ that's where I will always be at the end of the longest
