(C#m) I been waiting for you just to say (Ab5)
(N.C.) He's off to check his mind
(C#m) But all I know is you got no money

Verse 2:

Can you forgive the boy who shot you in the head
Or should you get a gun and go and get revenge?
A 100% of my love up to you true star
It's hard to believe you took off, I always thought you'd go far

Chorus 2:

But I've been around the world a million times
And all you men are slime
A gun to my head, goodbye I am dead
Wastewood rockers it's time for crying, hey!

A couple of days ago, I was on the internet, looking for tabs of songs of ours. It's 
fun to see what you guys make of'm. Only, I couldn't find any tab of 100% (only a very 
bass tab), which is one of our personal favorites. So I thought I'd just tab it out
myself. It's a long time ago we recorded this song, so the tab probably won't correspond
entirely how we played it back then. But however, we still play this song on a regular
basis, and this is more or less how we play it live. I hope this tab will be any good to
you, I sure put a lot of effort in making it. So lots of respect for all you boys and
girls out there who tab out songs like all the time. You bring rock and roll music
closer to the people.

Gratefully yours,

Thurston Moore, Sonic Youth
