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

Hey, don't blame me if this is wrong. I didn't write it.

Song: Lump

Artist: The Presidents of the United States of America

I don't know why no one has posted this terrific song yet, so I will.

It's pretty simple, but fun. I play it in drop D tuning (low E

tuned down 1 whole step to D), 'cos it makes the quick switches

easier, but it isn't necessary. I'm not sure about the rhythm, but

the chords are accurate - have fun with it. This is tabbed in drop D.

'bh' is the slow bend that he holds and lets back down in the

Again, its a really cool song - these chords are 100% accurate, I

think; its just a matter of finding the rhythm. Criticisms,

corrections, questions, flames, or any comments are much appreciated..
