RAMONES - "beat on the brat" Tablature
Official RAMONES Tablature & Sheet Music »
Title: Beat on the Brat
Band: The Ramones
Tabbed by: Martin Cox (mcox@indy.net)
The original tab on the archive (by Jesse Merrithew) was incorrect - even
though it technically sounded in tune with the song, it was closer to the
guitar than the bass. Here's the correct transcription. Play the whole
thing twice - it's easy. Hey, it's a Ramones song, it only has four notes.

Now go back to the intro and start over. Then play the intro once more
and end the song on the last note.
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 RAMONES 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.
