Walkin On The Sun by Smash Mouth guitar tab (text):SONG TITLE: Walkin' On The Sun ARTIST/GROUP: Smash Mouth Ok, there are two guitars in this song, one clean and one incredibly dirty. For that dirty sound, use a lot of distortion, use the bridge pickup, and pick the strings real close to the bridge. I'll divide the song into 4 or 5 riffs, then give you the lyrics. I have the timing below all the riffs, because it's a bit tricky in some places. I tried to say exactly where to play what, it may get a little confusing in places. It's probably easier to just learn the riffs and then listen to the song to hear when what is being played. Oh yeah, and if you want to play along with the CD you have to tune one note (half step) down, Smash Mouth are always tuned down. RIFF 1: [This is the clean guitar.] ------- E|---------------------------------| B|---------------------------------| G|---------------------------------| D|-----2-----4---------5-----4-----| A|-0---3-----5---------7-----5-----| E|---------------------------------| 1 & 2 & 3 & 4 & 1 & 2 & 3 & 4 & RIFF 2: [This is the dirty, distorted guitar] ------- E|----------------------------------| B|----------------------------------| G|----------------------------------| D|----------4-4---------5---4-4-----| A|----0-3-0-5-5-------0-7-0-5-5-----| E|----------------------------------| 1 & 2 & 3 & 4 & 1 & 2 & 3 & 4 & RIFF 3: ------- This is the clean guitar again. This is what's used in the verses. Watch out for the timing, it's a bitch.

(At the same time the clean guitar keeps playing RIFF 1) VERSE 1: [clean guitar plays RIFF 3] -------- It ain't no joke I'd like to buy the world a toke And teach the world to sing in perfect harmony And teach the world to snuff the fires and the liars Hey I know it's just a song but it's the spice for the recipe This is a love attack, I know it went out but it's back It's just like any fad it retracts before impact And just like fashion it's a passion for the with it and the hip If ya' got the goods they'll come and buy it just to stay in the cliqe [Ok, after he says cliqe the dirty guitar comes in, plays this below and then goes straight into RIFF 2 for the chorus.] E|-------------------------------------| B|-------------------------------------| G|-------------------------------------| D|----------------------------5-4-2----| A|----------------------------------0--| E|-------------------------------------| 1 & 2 & 3 & 4 & 1 & 2 & 3 & 4 & 1 | chorus starts on this one. During the chorus, the clean guitar plays the same notes as in the verses, but he plays the rhythm a little differently. You don't hear it much in the chorus, the dirty guitar is what's important there. CHORUS: [Dirty guitar plays RIFF 2 throughout chorus] ------- So don't delay, act now Supplies are running out Allow if you're still alive, six to eight years to arrive And if you follow there maybe you're too hollow But if the offer is shun you might as well be walkin' on the sun [You play RIFF 2 three times in the chorus and then the 4th time you play it like this:] E|----------------------------------| B|----------------------------------| G|----------------------------------| D|----------4-4---------------------| A|----0-3-0-5-5---------------------| E|------------------0---------------| 1 & 2 & 3 & 4 & 1 & 2 & 3 & 4 & ...might as well be walkin' on the sun Then play RIFF 2 twice before starting verse 2. VERSE 2: [play like verse 1] -------- Twenty-five years ago they spoke out and they broke out Of recession and oppression and together they toked And they folked out with guitars around a bonfire Just a singin' and a clappin' man what the hell happened? Yeah some were spellbound some were hellbound some they fell down And some got back up and fought back against the meltdown and their kids were hippie chicks, all hypocrites because fashion is smashin' the true meaning of it CHORUS: [play like previous chorus] ------- So don't delay, act now Supplies are running out Allow if you're still alive, six to eight years to arrive And if you follow there maybe you're too hollow But if the offer is shun you might as well be walkin' on the sun KEYBOARD SOLO: -------------- This is a keyboard arranged for guitar: (at the same time the dirty guitar is playing RIFF 2) E|--------5------5-------5--------------------------------5-----5-- B|-----------------------------------------------------------8----- G|-------------------------------7b8-7-5--------------------------- D|----7-------7------7-------7---------------7-7--7-7--7----------- A|----------------------------------------------------------------- E|----------------------------------------------------------------- E---8-8-8-8-5------5--------------------------------| B---------------8-----------------------------------| G-----------------------7-5----5-----------5--------| D---------------------------7--------5--------------| A---------------------------------------------------| E---------------------------------------------------| VERSE 3: -------- [clean guitar playing RIFF 1] It ain't no joke when a mama's hankerchief is soaked With her tears because her baby's life has been revoked [dirty guitar playing RIFF 2] The bond is broke up so choke up and focus on the close up Mr. Wizard can't perform, no God like hocus pocus [clean guitar playing RIFF 3 (normal verse riff)] So don't sit back, kick back and watch the world get bushwacked Use the ten your neighborhood is under attack Put away the crack before the crack puts you away You need to be there when your baby is old enough to relate | | The last line in this verse is played like this: E|----------------------------------| B|------5-------7-----8-8---8-8-----| G|------5-------7-----9-9---9-9-----| Clean Guitar D|----------------------------------| A|----------------------------------| E|----------------------------------| ----| | 1 & 2 & 3 & 4 & 1 & 2 & 3 & 4 & |-- These are being played | at the same time.
