MR. BROWN TABBED BY MATTHEW JOHNSTON
This song kicks ass! One of the best on the album. This is one of my first tabs
but I have been playing guitar for ages and have a fairly musical ear so this
tab should be correct. If it is and you want to tell me it is or congratulate me or whatever, write to orig_prankster@hotmail.com
I have given tab and chords over the lyrics. The chords over the lyrics are there to show when the chord changes.
KEY
\ = Slide (to an open string unless otherwise stated)
X = Lift the fretting hand off the strings slightly. It produces a percusive click.
pm----- = Palm Mute the chords shown above it.

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 WHEATUS 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.
