Let's get one thing straight: Operation Ivy is the greatest band of all
time. Agreeing with me so far? Good! Then I'm sure you'll like this
favorite, Caution. It's not a real tough one, but fun to play.

Intro:
E--------
B--------
G---12---
D---12---
A---10---

G

Only chords used throughout song:

(Chorus):
[F] [C] [G]

Riff:

G--7-5-7-5----------
D-----------8-5-8-5-

[F] [C]
Caution is a word ....

(Verse):
[G] [F] [C]

[G] [F] [C]
Walked the dog with a real short leash...
[G]

[F] [C] [G]

[F] [C]

week. (Riff:) E-----------------
B-----------------
G-7-5-7-5---------
D---------8-5-8-5-

Then repeat chorus, with this riff:
E-----------------
B-----------------
G-------7-7-5-----
D-8-5-8-------8-5-

Next, play verse again, with the same riff as the last chorus. Play
chorus again after that, with the original riff. Then,

Bridge:
[Bb][C][F] [C][Bb][F]
I didn't get it then...
[Bb][C][F] [C]
now. Caution my friend, don't ....
[Bb] [F]
'till you know you can ....

Then repeat chorus, with palm muting after the G, and that's it! Let me
know if there's a better way to play this song, or if you have any
comments, questions, etc
