MINUTEMEN - "this aint no picnic" Tablature
Official MINUTEMEN Tablature & Sheet Music »
Hey, how's it goin. I'm a huge Minutemen fan and there isn't enough of
tab of them on the net. This is a great song off of the Double Nickels
On The Dime CD, and you can also find it on Ballot Result. My band did
a cover of it on our demo tape.
The intro is the only tough part...

hold this
chord
I'm not even going to try to indicate the strumming, it's really fast. You
can get it by listening to the recording. Here are the chords:
E? and C?

B------8-------------------------------------------------------------------
G------7------------9------------------------------------------------------
D------6------------8------------------------------------------------------
A------7------------7------------------------------------------------------
E--0-0-0------------8------------------------------------------------------
Just strum them and get the clicks in. The name of the chords is something
like E7#9 or something, but people I know usually just call it "that Hendrix
chord." That's the verse part, and the chorus is just drums.
C? Hey mister, don't look down on me
E? For what I believe (etc.)
It goes intro-verse-chorus-solo (over verse)-verse-chorus
the outro is just E- --0000000------
I just use the E-Pentatonic scale on the twelth fret for the solo...
I'm sure d would approve
Here's the Bass
For the intro, just stand there and look cool. When the guitarist starts
slamming on E?, the second bar come in with G---/9 and hold it.
Then go into
C? E?

I think it varies a little bit, but Watt is real hard to tab. Enjoy, and
e-mail me with some more Minutemen, DK, or Living Colour tab if ya get any.

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 MINUTEMEN 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.
