Instead of messing up the tab I am just giving you the jist of an easier way to play it: -----------------------------|---------------------------- -----------------------------|---------------------------- -----------------------------|---------------------------- -----------------------------|--------2--4-----------2--4- --------2--4-----------2--4--|--0--4--------0--0--4------- --0--4--------0--0--4--------|---------------------------- B C# Ahhhhh Ahhhhh Play RIFF 1 and 2, and add in the B C# part when needed. Right before the vocals come in, the guitar plays an open E string, and sounds like the whammy bar is used to go down and the E string is bent on a fret. I'm not sure exactly what they do. If you know, please let me know! And during the "One thing that I can't stand..." parts, when you play the riff. Start by playing the full riff, then just play the first 2 or 3 notes of it. RIFF 1 Hey friend you know what I'd do If I was making the bucks RIFF 3 Well I'd move me to a place RIFF 1 Where all they had was trucks B C# RIFF 1 'Cause there's one thing that I can't stand B C# RIFF 1 There's one thing that I cannot stand B C# RIFF 1 One thing I cannot stand B C# RIFF 1 Can't stand B C# RIFF 1 Cannot stand B C# Can't stand
