BLINK 182 - "Adam's Song (almost Perfect??)" Tablature

Enema of the state
Tabbed by Andrew Chart achart@hotmail.com
!!Drop one whole step tuning!! DGCFAd (low to high)

Right..
I've seen loads of tabs for this and I reckon some are nearly right and some are totally wrong, and I don't really think I've learned a lot from most of them. I've basically modified everyone elses tabs and added bits to learn this song and I reckon I can play it pretty well now.

It has to be in drop one whole step because otherwise you can't let the right notes ring without getting major cramp in your hands. Before you criticise the tuning try it coz some of the tabs here have hooked on to the right tuning (good on them) and some ppl said it's wrong.

I really hate tabs that say stuff like 100% correct. And when they so blatantly aren't 100% then grr.... So I'm being a bit hypocritical, and a bit arrogant saying this is almost perfect, but I believe it is. I'm just not too sure about the bridge coz the guitars pretty quiet, (and the bass in the bridge (when I saw it live they both looked like they were playing the same thing), and I'm not sure too much about the last chords in the pre-chorus.

Well. Have I said enough now - yeah definetly. I hope you find this useful.
