Transcribed by Ben Hollis

Ive included the tab for

Fine punk classic

G--------------------------------
D--------------------------------
A--------------------------------
E-3-3-3-3-3-3-1-2-3-3-3-3-3-3-1-2
Depending on how it sounds this
Could be played an octave higher

For the last 4 bars of the intro
The bass just plays plain G

The high guitar pattern is at fret
12 on the guitar.  Mix in the
harmonic G note (i.e. the note in brackets)
to keep things moving

Instead of just mirroring the 
Chords the bass plays up the scale
