Donâ??t Call Me White NOFX
NOFX --- Don't Call Me White as performed on the Punk-O-Rama album (and I think Punk in Drublic) Transcribed by Gus Perez (gperez@netcom.com) Email me any comments or questions. Anyone and everyone is allowed to add their 2 cents and correct whatever I did wrong...correct the lyrics also, I'm sure I'm wrong there a couple of times. I didn't get this off the Punk In Drublic album so I didn't have access to the lyrics, I had to guess at them. I don't even know if the PID album even has the lyrics... REVISION: 5/12/95: I thank the (three people who mailed me the lyrics to this song. I have now updated the tab so the lyrics are correct (should be, at least). ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Played in standard E tuning. Lots of distortion, pretty high presence.
