Hey! here?s another great song by Sum 41. I?ve just heard it a couple of times (the album is out
on 26, Nov), i don?t know when will the album come out here in Spain, so this is my first tab,
i have no patience for tabbing out songs and it?s too soon to tab out the song very close. Ok,
it?s right to begining...
INTRO - play this 2X lightly...

******************* CORRECTION 22/11/02 ********************************************
*************************************************************************************
Ok, here?s the last correction i made. I know the bridge lead it?s not 99% alright, but the song ain?t out yet and i didn?t spend many time on it. I?ll fix it soon.
Well, when i tabbed this song out, i had my guitar tuned 1/2 step down, and it sounded ok, but now i change the strings and i tuned it in standard.
To make it sound alright see
standard tuning-- play in D
1/2 down--------- play in D# (like i did)
And finally, i know the intro is played with octaves, but you can play the full power-chord. If you want it to play live, play all the song with octaves, but if you want it to sound correctly, play the power-chords. I think and i play octaves ?cause is easier and better to play it fast.
Well, that?s all.
