Santeria Sublime
Band: Sublime
Song: Santeria
Album: Self-titled
Tabbed By: Jeremy Roswell (groswell@mailhost2.csusm.edu)
Comments: I got sick of asking for the tab so I bought the CD and here's my
rendition of Sublime's "Santeria". The lyrics in the CD insert are slightly
different from what Bradley actually sings so I changed them below to
get as close as I could to the actual words sung. All the chords should be
barred. The E on the 7th fret, the Ab on the 4th, the Dbm also on the 4th
and the B on either the 2nd or more conveniently the 7th. The chords in the
song might all be power chords, I'm not really sure. I put the chords along
with the first verse and chorus so you could get the idea. Each chord is
strummed and muted four times in the verses. The chorus riff I have included
below is not exactly accurate as is my intro but they are pretty close. I'll
try and get the solo later but I'm not sure I can do it with my acoustic.

Verse 3:
He knows what is good for him he best go run and hide
Daddy's got a new 45
And I won't think twice to stick that barrel straight down Sancho's throat
Believe me when I say that I've got something for his punk ass
