Song

Day Job- Gin Blossoms

CD: Congratulations I'm Sorry

Tabber: Mitchell (Mitchell_J@hotmail.com)

Tuning: Down a half step (Eb Ab Db Gb Bb eb)

I can't figure out the intro/lead stuff in the verse. Rhythm plays F#5, that's

all. A few parts are missing, but the song has a TON of little fills, and a neat

one before the solo, is also not here. I think I did well here, but I hope

one of you tabbers can patch up this tab somewhat.
