is played. The actual song varies quite a bit but can be played just
by straying slightly from the root.

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

Listen to the CD for timing

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

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.
