A pretty easy song with an interesting solo by Brad Nowel. This piece is
a classic party song for an instrumental group or friends who know the words.

after this part the song starts over with these lyrics
baby your a big blue whale, rap the reef and all the diomond fails
i swim but i wish i never hurt her, the waters too polluted with germs
i dive deep when its ten feet over head, grab the reef underneath my baby
aint got no quarrels with god, aint got no time to grow old
lord knows im week, wont somebody get me off of this reef.
this time the music slows from the firts transition to the second, and the
mute/ up strokes turns back to the beggining with the full chords
note: some of these chords are manipulated and just finger picked instead of
strummed.

after this he goes through the chorus again and the songs ends.
Thats about it, this is my first tab so if there are any problems contact me.
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 SUBLIME 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.
