Donno if any of this is right but it sounds fine to me, e-mail me any

corections.

KEY:

+ = up swipe with slight palm muting (listen to the song)

/ = slide

Listen to the CD for timing



             +        +       +      +

 e-------------------------------------| Play this part over and over adding

 B|------------------------------------| Palm muting and stuff altering the

 G|-11-11-11-11/7-7-7-7---------9-9-9--| riff. Just listen to the CD and you

 D|-11-11-11-11/7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-9-9-9--| will get it right.

Knowledge

From: trebor@alpha2.csd.uwm.edu (Robert W Kubiak II)

        Since the tab for Green Day's cover of Knowledge was recently posted,

here is the original by Operation Ivy.  Mostly power chords, but a really

great riff too. The D,C,G progression goes throughout the whole song

(verse and refrain) if you want all the lyrics, they are in the CD.

        Tune down one whole step for this song D,G,C,F,A,D. Or to play in

standard tuning, play C,Bb,F and play the riff off of 3rd position.

Plea For Peace(bass)

tabbed by Sean McCullough (bankshot@mailhost.nmt.edu)

I think the guitar part is just power chords with these roots...

Verse:

G -------------------------

D -------------------------

A ------2----------2-3-3-3-   The song starts off with this riff

E -3-3-3--3-2-1-1-1--------

 It wasn't my decision...

G ------------553--------------  Sometimes Matt leaves out the 05 at

D ---------------------------5-  the end.

A ---------------------------0-  This normally follows the verse, but

E -3-32-21-1-1----3-32-21-1-1--  it appears at other points too

  Certain jocks sought control...

Chorus:

it's there for a second then it's given up what it used to be

(with same progression)

contained in music somehow more then just sound

this inspiration coming and twisting things around

cause you always know that it's gonna have to go

you always know that you'll be back in the cold

point of departure sublimated in a song

it's always comin to give me hope for just a second

then it's gone, but

CHORUS

static pulse inside of music bringing us escape

it's always temporary changing nothing in it's wake

just a second where we're leavin all this shit behind

just a second but it's leavin just this much in mind

to resist despair, that second makes you see...

to resist despair, cause you can't change everything

to resist despair in this world is

what it is what it is to be free

   by straying slightly from the root.
