Screw That Man by The Jerk Offs

This is the song from "Nick and Norah's Infinite Playlist" that Nick and his band played
stage. Sadly it's not on the soundtrack, but you can find it on Youtube (see below).

I previously tabbed out the bass part here:
 http://www.ultimate-guitar.com/tabs/t/the_jerk_offs/screw_that_man_btab.htm

The guitar part plays the same thing as the bass for most of the song with the exception
a second guitar comes in (or is at least more noticeable) at 0:52.

And if anyone can figure how to get this tone on the guitar please let me know!
This song is amazing!

Special thanks to SKA8919 and inspired1092 from Youtube!

Enjoy and please rate!


Standard Tuning (E A D G B e)

For the intro it is really just the bass playing but there is dissonant pick scraping
on that can't really be tabbed. This sound is also heard throughout certain parts of the
of the song.

If I take a look I gotta have it
Big brother is your mother come and catch me if you can
I'm hooked, Can't kick this habit
Don't bother with the father
Holy water can't clean these hands

I'm illegal
You're illegal
Even my dog's illegal
I bet the life you lead is true

He's illegal
She's illegal
I'm a illegal, you're illegal too
I'm gonna sue persuing you

Screw that man
Screw that man
I want to screw that man

Screw that man
Screw that man
I want to screw that man

I'm gonna screw you man
I wanna screw YOU man
I wanna screw that man!
