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

Song

AT MY JOB, Dead Kennedys. Written by East Bay Ray.

Tabbed by Jake Strange (aka: scumfuc) for guitar.

I've covered this song before & it sounds good. I know

of no one or nowhere else who has tab for this, so I'll

attempt to submit it here & hope someone finds it usefull.
