You Drive Me Nervous Chords & Tabs

Tabbed by DoteStudios
Here is the completely new version of You Drive Me Nervous, this time it is actually
I will do the solos for the song.
Note: During the solo and outro look at the order of the riffs being played marked next
the title. Also if you don't have a whammy bar use the cool technique Ryan Roxie used to
Strike the note then while the note is ringing lift the string (on the opposite side of
you strum) and move it up and down very fast to imitate the effect.
Keys
b = bend
r = release
\ = slide up neck
/ = slide down neck
h = hammer-on
p = pull-off
~ = hold note
w = whammy bar

< > = strike the notes in between the symbols while in the bend
D = strum down
U = strum up
