Additional lyrics:
2.I know this girl she's barely alive
She's all haggard, she's only twenty-five
She said she's never had a friend before
I said: "Hey girl, I'll be your friend, but who's keeping score?"
3.I saw this other little girl on the phone
Her mother comforts her from far from home
The little girl was very hesitant
Her best friend lies dead on the pavement
4.I always end up back on the hill
Lookin' down at the landfill
I always go there when I can
My friend Marty said: "Tim, you're a lucky man"
--Mat
"I don't like alarms, Mister White."

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 RANCID 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.
