"Big Picture", by the SoCal punk legends The Subhumans.
tabbed by tyler@creators.org
I'm 99% sure this is correct, with the exception of the guitar solo, witch
I didn't bother with; it's only 2 bars long and very garbled.
I couldn't make out the lyrics either.
NOTES:
~~~~~~
I have the rough outline of the rhythm notated by the spacing of the chords.
You'll have to figure out the subtleties for yourself. A hyphen is more or
less an eighth note. Strum as necessary.
I think he's playing 2-note power chords in this song. You can add the octave
if you'd like; it doesn't really matter.
For the bassline, just play the root of the guitar chords, same rhythm (hey,
it's just punk rock :)

^- IMMEDIATE cutoff.
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 SUBHUMANS 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.
