Artist: Lagwagon
Song: Mr. Coffee
Album: Duh
Year: 1992

This is a really cool song that I (with a little bit
of help from my man Ken Phillips. Props to Ken)
figured out.

Intro (Not sure which parts of this are played by the
bass and which is the guitar. I think the guitar
plays all of it the second time through but only the
high note the first time through)

e-------------------------------------------
B-------------------------------------------
G---4---4----4---4----4---4-----------------
D-------------------------------------------
A-2---2---2---------------------------------
E----------4---4---43---3---32---------------

1st Ending 2nd Ending

D--------- D-4-4-4---
A-1---1--- A-4-4-4---
E---4----- E-2-2-2---

Verse (this is REALLY fast, but I think it's right)
This should be played as power chords, with distortion

B B C# C# Eb E E Eb C# Bb F# F# Ab F# Bb B B B B x2

(E is the highest note--all F#s, Abs, and Bbs are at
the lower octave. I'm not sure if it's a Bb that's
played, that's why it's in parentheses)

OR

B B B B B B (loF# F# F#) E Eb C# (loF# F# F# Ab Ab) B
B B B x 2

I'm really not sure which of these is more correct--I
think the top line follows the vocals and the bottom
one follows the guitar more closely--but the real
guitar part might be some combination of the two.
Stick to the bottom one and if it sounds like
something is missing, add the transitions from the top
one.

Chorus
B B B C# Eb E (Eb) E E E F# B B B x2

Transition

E E C# C# Eb Eb B B x3
E E C# C# Eb C# B

Bridge

B B B (loF#) B B B B (loF#) x 2
(lead comes in now, playing this, while rhythm plays
this another 2 times. Lead is something like this)
B B B F# BB B B F# B B B F# BB B B F# E
e-----4-2-------4-2-|-----4-2-------4-2|---0--------
B---4---------4-----|---4---------4----|------------
G-4--------44-------|-4--------44------|------------

Repeat once (sounds like rhythm palm-mutes on the E),
then Rhythm plays this:

E F F# F F# Bb B

(lead plays something close to this after)

e-----------------------------------
B--------------5-4-5-7p4------------
G--4-4-4-4-4-4-----------4-4-4-4-4-4

You may want to pick the B (4 on G string) at double
time to match the galloping drum beat.

Bridge Chorus:

F F F F E F G C C C x4

Outro

e-2-2-2--------
B-------34-----
G----------4---
