*-------------------------------------------------------------------*
Note: I play the entire song on a different pick-up. I have no idea what it is called, so I'll just say you flip it down all the way away from you when you are holding your guitar. I hope that helps, and here it is!

Intro: Short drum and bass solo, then the guitar comes in:

Bb F G F C?
E|----------x-x------------x-x------------x-x---------------|
B|----------x-x------------x-x------------x-x---------------|
G|3---------x-x--3----5----x-x--3---------x-x--3----5-------|
D|3-3--5--3-x-x--3-3--3--3-x-x--3-3--5--3-x-x--3-3--3--3----|
A|1-3--5--3-x-x--1-3--3--3-x-x--1-3--5--3-x-x--1-3--3--3----|
E|--1--3--1-x-x----1-----1-x-x----1--3--1-x-x----1-----1----|

I'm pretty sure this is close to the right thing, but listen to the song. I think there are a few more mutes in there, but I'm sure you can figure it out by yourself!

Pre-Chorus:

E|----------------------------------------------------------|
B|----------------------------------------------------------|
G|---3-----2-------2-------2--------------play this 4x------|
D|-----3-----3---1---3-------3------------------------------|
A|1----------------------3----------------------------------|
E|-------1--------------------------------------------------|

Chorus: Play this 2x

Bb, F, C, Fii (this is played, with your ring and pinky finger on the D and G strings on the 10th fret with your index finger laid across on the 8th fret for all of you who don't know how to play it.

Solo or Chorus riff, whatever you want to call it:

E|----------------------------------------------------------|
B|----------------------------------------------------------|
G|--3-2-0----3-2-5-3-2-3-5------play 2x and end on---3------|
D|--------3-------------------------------------------------|
A|----------------------------------------------------------|
E|----------------------------------------------------------|

Then it starts with the drum and bass solo, and then the guitar comes in again with the intro, pre-chorus and chorus, all 2x each.





After you play the chorus riff or solo, whatever you want to call it after the second chorus, then play the solo:

E|---------------------------------------------------------|
B|---------------------------------------------------------|
G|--3-2-0----3-2-5-3-2-3-5--------------play 2x------------|
D|--------3------------------------------------------------|
A|---------------------------------------------------------|
E|---------------------------------------------------------|

(Continued)
E|---------------------------------------------------------|
B|---------------------------------------------------------|
G|--7-8-10-8-7p8p5-7-5-7-8-7-5-7p5p3-3-2-0--3p2-3p2-3-2-0-3|
D|---------------------------------------------------------|
A|---------------------------------------------------------|
E|---------------------------------------------------------|
(p= pull off)

I'm pretty sure this is close to the right thing. I got a little confused on the pull offs, so listen to the song and see if you can figure it out. And I'm not quite sure if the ending is right, so just fool around with it cause its not that hard.

After this all you have to do is play the chorus 2x and end on Bb and that's it, so here are the lyrics:

Crossed the street, naked at night. Bent over to show some moonlight. Pulled out some beer and I gulped it down. Nude in a gutter is how I was found. Thrown in a police car, and the door was slammed. No noise, just silence as I screamed my dick was jammed. Now in prison for one month, no one to see, all I got is this guy, Benjamin Dover.
Don't like hesh-don't like rap-kicked ol' Sally cause she's fat- I'm a jerk, I'm a punk, took a shower cause I stunk-smoked a bong, killed a cat-had my nuts attacked by rats, dad got nude-wore a thong-for a hobby I make bombs.
Went to a farm to tip some cows, forgot that I left my pants down. Bent over to pick them up, felt a twelve gauge next to my hum-diddy um. The farmer took me to his house, showed me the closet from the inside out, the police came and took me away, saw Ben Dover again, He's still gay.
Don't like hesh-don't like rap... etc.

Well I guess that's it for this awesome Blink 182 song! I know I probably messed up on the solo or something, but sounds really close, so figure it out your self. You can e-mail me with any questions or comments if you want, and may I remind you this was the first song I have ever tabbed out, and I was tired of everyone getting it wrong so I decided to do it right, but you can e-mail me anyway.

Thanks a lot, and have fun with it!
Cory
