and Monkey Hill "Mouthin' Off (Live + More)"

Written by Paul Sanchez, vocals by Fred LeBlanc
Originally tabbed by: Pete Rasche <prasche@mailhost.tcs.tulane.edu>
Re-tabbed by: Kevin League (mleague@mindspring.com)
Pete Rasche posted this song already, but I found many mistakes in key
parts of the song, so I decided to correct them and add a few
things(including the solo).
This main riff is played by one guitar during the verse. The other guitar
plays E and A.

VERSE 3
I was the one full of whiskey and talk
I was the one with the skip in my walk
You say the truth hurts, well so does a liar
My heart's a flame that pains.....
CHORUS
(repeated with A E chords into MAIN RIFF close)
That's about it. The solo might take a little practice to get right. Laterz!
This musical interpretation has been removed due to a legal threat from Moses & Singer LLP,
representing the National Music Publishers' Association (NMPA) and
The Music Publisher's Association of the United States (MPA).
Unfortunately, these threats are fueled by greed and being masked by a "copyright infringement." They claim tab sites are
"hurting the songwriters," but it's a known fact that the publishing companies garner most of the
revenue. Instead, they would prefer you to purchase the
official COWBOY MOUTH tablature
which is an option we've always given our users. And due to the highly error-prone nature of tabs on the internet, many choose to go this route.
These companies also do not realize that tablature sites help to promote their artists.
For more information on this onslaught, you can read the
NY Times Article.
We hope one of the larger tablature sites will have the money to fight this. Until then, we urge you all to keep tabbing songs and sharing them in any way you can.
