This is a great song by one of my all-time favorite bands, Goldfinga!
The song, does, however, have lots of little bits and pieces to play. So,
Main/Intro riff: (repeated)
Play main/intro riff once, then at the end of the second time, play this:
F#ii
G
2nd guitar plays these chords under the main/intro riff:
D G B A
The intro riff ends, and lead guitar plays this riff:
Rythym ska part played during verse:
D G
Verse:
D G D G
You taught me how to play guitar, you taught me that I'd go
D G D G D
far just by trying. Yea just by trying. We were kids playing
G D G D G
Social D., spiritual man on l.s.d., we were frying, yea we
D
were frying.
Play this riff during last half of verse:
Bridge:
Em C Em Fii
Em C Em
Once in a while you'd fuck with me, no ground on my bass and
Fii
it shocked me.
Chorus:[the
C and
D in parantheses aren't played by guitar]
G Am C D G Am (
C )(
D )
G
G Am C D
G Am (
C ) (
D )
G
Cause when we were skatin', you would make the metal sign.
Repeat intro.
Verse:
D G D
You got kicked out of school for wearing profanity. "Too
G D G
drunk to fuck" said the Dead Kennedys on your button, your
D G
punk rock button.
Riff: ( means played quietly)
D G D
You were born in S.L.T., vegetarian man no
G D G D G
B.L.T. on your muffin, no turkey stuffing.
Riff:
Bridge:
Em C Em
Once in a while I'd surf with you, our first band was called
Fii
I.M.R.U.
Then repeat chorus, playing a barred G-C-
G instead of the
(
C )-(
D )-
G part at the end.
Next: repeat intro 2x, then lead guitar plays this while 2nd guitar plays
a
D with palm muting:
Last verse repeats the words from the first verse, except it's played
with barre chords.
Riff: ("yeah just by trying. . .")
Whew! That's pretty much all I've got. It took me a while to figure this
one out, and there may be some other, better ways to play this song. If
you have any questions, comments, changes, or maybe even requests, e-mail
me and I'll see what I can do you for.
