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

Song

Yeah this is easily my favorite Ataris song, but I noticed your site didn’t have

the tabs so I decided to do it for you. I’m pretty sure its 100% correct, but if

you get lost just listen through the song a couple times to get the rhythm down,

and you should be OK. If you have any questions about the tab you can email me

at nikko42@chorus.net
