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

T1: Nielsen Nacis, B0baFett84@aol.com, Powerman 5000, Good Times Roll,

8/99

S1: This is a cover song that Powerman 5000 did from a classic song from

The Cars, just in a heavier version. The song the pretty easy to figure

out cause its really just repeating its self all at different times. I

used my own little names for each riff so bear with 'em. Its a really fun

song to listen to and to play. If anyone has any comments, questions, or

even corections to my tab, e-mail me at B0baFett@aol.com, thank you and

have fun!, (intro over those crazy beats)
