Note from Jay V:
----------------
I love this song. It's one of my all time favorite Goo songs, next to
that one called "Two Days In February." (see my tab here on guitartabs.cc
to learn that one ... also pretty accurate compared to some of the others
scattered about the Internet.)
I uploaded this ... I like keeping things complete so you don't have to
download four different files just to get one song. People have been
doing certain parts of the tabs a bit wrong. First off, the intro. What I
got here is, for the most part, the way Johnny plays. Plus, it's easier
to do. Second, check the pre-chorus section against yours. This part on
some other tabs just said "something like that" and, well, "something
like that" just doesn't cut it when you're trying to go for that realism
thing. Oh yeah. And since no one could figure out (until the release of
EOAC) what Johnny R sang at the end of the choruses, I put it in here.
Werd.
I left everything else alone, 'cuz Mikey and Johnny O seem to have gotten
the rest of it just fine. Good for them. Go check out WOG. Most of the
original Goo tabs were stolen from there. Even though some people thought
it would be cool to rip them and post them as if it were their own, know
that they truly are from the WOG site, and half these people are just
plagiarists. Or whatever they're called.
POWER TO THE ORIGINAL PEOPLE! WOG FOR LIFE!
Okay. I'm done. Enjoy. And remember, playing a guitar song is a matter of
preference. If mine don't cut it, do it your own way. Mine more closely
matches the record, and it's easier to play strings 1 and 2 while keeping
your fingers on the same frets than sliding your whole hand up, just to
play something that basically matches the open first two strings. Wow.
Long intro to the tab. Let's just GET ON WITH IT!

P.S. Know my pet peeve? People who try to take credit for something they didn't
do. Get a life, you people! Go outside, breath some real fresh air for a change,
and don't be a loser! You know my other pet peeve? When I don't know when to
shut my proverbial yapper!
