Tabbed by Dave Bloom

This song, is pretty unique to itself. I really can't
find the right adjectives to describe it. Anyway, there
are quite a few different chords in this song. I must say
after tabbing almost all the songs on this album, almost
every song has a B flat chord in it, just a little observation
for you.
Drop D tuning

the part inbetween verses...

For the verse, you play a C and then slide to a D,
then the F and D2. If you don't understand that,
e-mail me and i'll explain in better detail...
A change that I noticed. when I play this dong, the D2 chord
doesn't right to me anymore, if you have been feeling the same
try playing an A chord instead, and if it doesn't sound better
than I don't know what to tell you, I believe it is an A or the
D2, so there ya go...

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 STABBING WESTWARD 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.
