After the last bar, improvise, just strike a few notes or something for a few seconds,
or make your own solo. And thats it, I'm confident that this is almost completely
accurate, but we'd need Lyle Preslar to confirm that. Its a fairly slow tempo (especially
for Minor Threat), i guess everyone interprets strumming patterns of a song differently,
but this is how i play it, and its near as dammit perfect.

A great song, hope you enjoy learning it, any suggestions/comments/corrections are much
appreciated. email me at wyld_stallyns_rock@hotmail.com
