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

When She Begins - Social Distortion

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

Tabbed by:legnadetrotsid

Tuning: Tune down half a step.

This is the way I play it and it sounds good to me although I don't know if it's correct.

Since I don't know how to tab out the strumming pattern I just tabbed out the chords I use.

It's not 100% accurate. I left out some hammer-ons and pull-offs and other little strums I do

during the solo because I can't exactly tab out notes. I just put the basic

pattern. But once you get

the rhythm and feel for this you can add your own shuffle.
