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

Artist: Bad Religion

Album: No Substance

A great song! The bass is always melody and parallels the guitar

except during the chorus.

All notes are even eighth unless marked otherwise

Q=quarter

H=half

r=rest (with noted value)

Times are included because I can't include lyrics
