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

By: Ramiro Chamorro

**=Palm mute-smother thing

-main guitar riff) ...I didn't pledge allegiance cos I thought it was uncool...

Its this over, and over.

D U D.... ----

strumming pattern: D= down, u = up. Each D U D after the first D

(which counts as 1) is 1 time. You do 7 D-U-D's before the two strokes after

the ----. the very first time when this strumming pattern is introduced, its

6 DUD's. i hope it makes sense.. and do as many times as needed.

Bridge... -.... Oooh, ooh, ohh, ohh ooooOOO...

Main thing, again, simple. its the bass doing the cool riff.

E|------------7---5------------5-7--------5-

D-U-D X 1 -- * -- DUD X 1-- DUD X 1 --

*I forget how many times, but the same DUD thing. X 6 i think, then go to part

after *

after X amount of times of pattern after the *, just stop, then after a second,

go to main guitar riff. Thats basically it. Just play along with the tape and

connect all the parts together. A very simple but good song, enjoy
