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

Up On the Sun – Meat Puppets

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Tabbed by: Omri Cohen

Email: i.m.bleach@gmail.com

Tuning: standard

I decided to tab this song out because I noticed UG didn't have a

proper/correct tab;

one tab has all the chords wrong and the other one is just the intro, so her's the entire thing

Not too much more / Too much more

The rest of the song is just the E Chord being repeated and then the Intro
