Subject: TAB: Retards MAke Good Friends by Beer Softened Stool

"Retards Make Good Friends"
By Beer Softened Stool
from the "The Brown Album"

The song is pretty easy...3 cord punk...although any correction is
appreciated.
I saw these guys back up the Meatmen at Harpos in Detroit...this was
their opening song. Brian the guitar play and Bob the bass player basically
play the same notes.

The opening riff (Riff 1)
