Song: 'We're Not Going To Take It'

    Album: Stay Hungry (Atlantic)
  Bassist: Mark 'The Animal' Mendoza
Tabbed By: JeffDiablo (JeffDiablo@brandedsoul.com)
   Tuning: Standard (EADG low-to-high)

Performance Notes
~ = hold note
. = staccato
/ = slide up to note
The eighth notes in the intro are played with a triplet feel...easy to pick out
when listening to the recording.  The verse chords are E-B-E-A then E-B-E-B.
I've tabbed out the passing notes as well as I can hear them.  Normally I'm all for
experimenting and finding other patterns that fit the song but here they are part of the
hook and something people will listen for and expect.  The two 'pre-chorus' sections go
E-F-F#-B as compared to other tab I've seen, usually E-A#-B-E.  I like to mix it up and
play the E on the low daddy and the F-F#-B on the A string.
