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

souds alright! shorld be ok!

just figure out the order and you will be fine

i used this for a studio recording where i live and it sounds damn near perfect!

add the intro riff in the right places! the last part of the wipeout bit

is a little fun improvise of those notes so dont hold me to it!lol

if your a smash mouth fan, i think they detune 1/2 step on all strings

so if your in a live situation and you have to detune, just detune and

add 1 to each note in my tab and it will sound the same!i tabbed it like this just to

you having

to tune up again!
