Monday by The Living End
/ = slide up
\ = slide down
b = bend
s = slight bend
h = hammer
p = pulloff
This isn't exactly perfect, but
it's as perfect as it will get!
I started out tabbing out each
time you play the chord, but
that got to be really tiring
really fast, anyways that part
is easy to figure out by yourself!!
Please, please don't steal this tab
as your own!!!

Well that's basically the pattern for the
intro and the rest of the verses, then this
part is the pre-chorus and the chorus:
E---------------------------------------------|
B---------------------------------------------|
G---------------------------------------------|
D--9--9--9------------------------------------|
A--9--9--9------------------------------------|
E--7--7--7------------------------------------|
"...no school today, it's just a memory..."
E--4---4---4---4------4---4---4---4-----------|
B--5---5---5---5------4---4---4---4-----------|
G--6---6---6---6------5---5---5---5-----------|
D--6---6---6---6------6---6---6---6-----------|
A---------------------------------------------|
E---------------------------------------------|
"...one mind gone wroooooooong..."
E--2---2---2---2------4------5----------------|
B--2---2---2---2------4------5----------------|
G--2---2---2---2------5------6----------------|
D--4---4---4---4------6------7-------9---9----|
A------------------------------------9---9----|
E------------------------------------7---7----|
"I don't wanna play, on Monday..."
E---------------------------------------------|
B---------------------------------------------|
G--9--9--9--9---------------------------------|
D--9--9--9--9------7--7--9--9-----------------|
A--7--7--7--7------7--7--9--9-----------------|
E------------------5--5--7--7-----------------|
"I don't wanna play, on Monday..."
E---------------------------------------------|
B---------------------------------------------|
G--9--9--9--9---------------------------------|
D--9--9--9--9------7--7--9--9-----------------|
A--7--7--7--7------7--7--9--9-----------------|
E------------------5--5--7--7-----------------|
"...pinned to my memory..."
E---------------------------------------------|
B---------------------------------------------|
G---------------------------------------------|
D--7--7--7--7---9--9--9--9--------------------|
A--7--7--7--7---9--9--9--9--------------------|
E--5--5--5--5---7--7--7--7--------------------|
"not just another Monday, it seems like such a lie..."
E---------------------------------------------|
B---------------------------------------------|
G--9---8---6--------------------------------9-|
D--9---8---6---9---7------7-7-7-7--9-9-9-9--9-|
A--7---6---4---9---7------7-7-7-7--9-9-9-9--7-|
E--------------7---5------5-5-5-5--7-7-7-7----|
Now just repeat the verses for this one:
"Change of plans on a rainy day
A new lesson to be learned today
Pack up your guns and your soldiers too
Because one sick mind depends on you"
And the chorus:
"No school today
It's just a memory
One mind gone wrong
I don't wanna play on Monday
I don't wanna play on Monday
Pinned to my memory
Not just another Monday
It seems like such a LIE!!"
Ok here's where it gets fun:
After Chris sings "LIE!!" then you play this wicked fast:
E--4-4-4-------------4-4-4--------------4-----|
B--------5-5-5-------------5-5-5--------------|
G--------------6-6-6-------------6-6-6--------|
D---------------------------------------------|

E--4--4--4--4--4--4--4--4--4--4--4--4--4--4--4-|
Then the next part:
"...playing quietly, along came destiny, oh I..."
E--------------------------------------------------------------|

This is played 4 times:

E---------------------------------------------|
repeat this a few times, this is really fast...
E--12---12---12---12---12---12----------------|

G--------------------------------6---6-4-6-4---4------|
D--------------------------------------------6--6-4-2-|
A-----------------------------------------------------|
E-----------------------------------------------------|
there's a bunch of different ways to play this part:
E--------------------------------------------------------------------------|
B--5--4-----------2-----4--5--4-----------2-----4----2--2--3--4-----4------|
G--------6--4--2-----4-----------6--4--2-----4-------------------4-----4---|

D--9----8----6----9----7--7--7--7--7---9--9--9--9--9-----------------------|
A--7----6----4----9----7--7--7--7--7---9--9--9--9--9-----------------------|
E-----------------7----5--5--5--5--5---7--7--7--7--7-----------------------|
The rest is pretty easy to figure out,
but when he sings "no school today, it's
just a memory" for the last time you play
this:
"no school today, it's just a memory..."
E----------------------------------------------------|
B----------------------------------------------------|
G--6--6-6-6--6-6-6-6-6-6-6---------------------------|
D--6--6-6-6--6-6-6-6-6-6-6--6--6-6-6--6-6-6-6-6-6-6--|
A--4--4-4-4--4-4-4-4-4-4-4--6--6-6-6--6-6-6-6-6-6-6--|
E---------------------------4--4-4-4--4-4-4-4-4-4-4--|
"one mind gone wrooo... ...oo....ong!!"
E--------------------------------------------------------------------------|
B--------------------------------------------------------------------------|
G--------------------------------------------------------------------------|
D--4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4--6-6-6-6-6-6-6----7----9----------------------|
A--4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4--6-6-6-6-6-6-6----7----9----------------------|
E--2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2--4-4-4-4-4-4-4----5----7----------------------|
then play the chorus again...
Ok at the very very end, the second time he sings
"Monday, it seems like such a lie...." play:
"Monday, it seems like such a ...lie"
E--------------------------------------------------------------------------|

E--5-5-5-5----7-7-7-7------------------------------------------------------|
"Monday..... it's just a lie...."
