Part Ii the Numbers Game

Bad Religion
Tab

This is tablature — fret positions rather than chord names. Wide lines scroll sideways on their own, so the page never does.

Song

Artist: Bad Religion

Song: Part II (The Numbers Game)

Album: Suffer (1988)

Tuning: Standard E (e-B-G-D-A-E)

The other tab round here is kind of confusing and also incomplete,

so i decided to tab out this easy song in the correct and complete way.

Played with two guitars, but both play the same riffs

Intro

"1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10!"
