Subject: TAB: motorcycle driveby by third eye blind
Song: Motorcycle Drive By
Artist: Third Eye Blind
Album: Third Eye Blind on Elektra records
Lyrics and music: Stephen Jenkins
Tabbed by: Angell Tsang "a-cute-angle@mailexcite.com"
I tabbed this as accurately as I could. It's an awesome song,
especially when it kicks into the distortion. I love the drums
in this song too. I think they should release this one as their
next single. There's no real verse/chorus in the song, and I
couldn't decide what was, so I'll leave it to you to decide...
Acoustic guitar in the beginning...

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 THIRD EYE BLIND 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.
