This song is quite easy..! The only possible difficulty is the strumming, so just listen to it carefully to get it. :)

Verse 1 (clean ska)

e|--------------------
B|---8--6--4--6-------
G|---8--6--5--6-------	4x
D|---8--6--6--6-------
A|---6--4--6--4-------
E|---------4----------

At the third time a second Guitar plays the first chord with a flanger effect (I think) 
just when the first guitar changes to the second chord.

Bridge (clean ska)

e|---------------------------
B|---6--4--2--4--6--4--------
G|---6--5--3--5--6--5--------
D|---6--6--4--6--6--6--4--6--
A|---4--6--4--6--4--6--2--4--
E|------4--2--4-----4--------



Chorus (distortion)

e|---------------------------	    |---------------------
B|---------------------------	    |---------------------
G|---8--5--------------------	2x  |---8--6-----6--------	1x
D|---8--5--3--5--6--11-------	    |---8--6--6--6--------
A|---6--3--3--5--6--11-------	    |---6--4--6--4--------
E|---------1--3--4---9-------	    |---------4-----------



Verse 1 (clean ska)		|   Verse 2 (clean ska)
				|
e|--------------------		|   
B|---8--6--4--6-------		|  
G|---8--6--5--6-------	2x	|    When the beat is going faster (Text: "Does it feel like a broken record"),
D|---8--6--6--6-------		|    you have to play the same chords like in Verse 1, but have to strum every 
A|---6--4--6--4-------		|    chord longer. You also have to play it a bit faster, I think. Just try it
E|---------4----------		|    out.

but it should be ok. If you have any comments, please eMail me (FreddyFox@gmx.net) !!
