DEAD KENNEDYS - "Police Truck (Correct)" Tablature

Official DEAD KENNEDYS Tablature & Sheet Music »

Song: Police Truck
Artist: Dead Kennedys
Album: Give Me Convenience or Give Me Death
tabbed by: Psai (cyrac@hotmail.com)

tuning: standard

note: the first three chords strummed in the intro use a pan-delay like effect
which is also used in the lead parts. This song is best played with two guitars
because its easier to keep the song going, but if you have the right pedal tchen
go for it. Listen to the song and you'll get a pretty good idea of the timing.
