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

GRATITUDE by the Beastie Boys from the album ÒCheck Your HeadÓ

Listen the the album for timing

w/ distortion (really?) & flange?

Part A

___This is the main part____

G-----|----------------------------|---
D-----|--5-------------------------|---
A-5-5-|7---7-7-xx-5-6-7-7-xx-------|---
E-----|----------------------3-4-5-|(3)   x2 bass only, intro

It then does (basically) the same thing two more times except

it ends on the octave (5,6,7 fret D string as opposed to 3,4,5

E string)

Part B

Verse
