Author/Artist: Barenaked Ladies Title: Go Home Album: Maroon Transcribed by: Brian Beglin Email: jayhawk_182@hotmail.com Here is one of the best songs off of Maroon. It's really fun to play, too; very up-tempo. This is also my first tab, so I would greatly appreciate some feedback. Thanks! ***CAPO 2nd FRET*** Chords used: G (320003@1)Cadd9 (x32030@1)AmAsus2 D (xx0232@1)Dsus2Dsus G/F#Em Em7 Bm (x24432@1)F (133211@1)Cm (x3101x@1)D/F# (200232@1) -3--3------0--0-----2--0-----3----3----0---3----2---1--3---2----------------------- -3--3------1--0-----3--3-----3----3----0---3----3---1--4---3----------------------- -0--0------2--2-----2--2-----2----2----0---0----4---2--5---2----------------------- -0--2------2--2-----0--0-----0----0----2---2----4---3--5---0----------------------- -2--3------0--0-----x--x-----x----0----2---2----2---3--3---x----------------------- -3--x------x--x-----x--x-----x----2----0---0----x---1--x---2----------------------- **These are all basically the same riff and it's ok to play each one the same way.
