This is my tab for Left Behind by Operation Ivy (a.k.a. best band on earth). Matt

of not touching it. Anyway, this is an awesome song with a cool little bass lick near

end..soo, yea...here it goes!

I learned this entirely by ear so, it should all be pretty much accurate. There is also

video of me playing it on youtube for those of you who can learn by watching or

Just search "Left Behind Operation Ivy" then it should come up. My youtube account is
