Here's some tab for Social Distortion's "Playpen" transcribed by Alex
Mc Laughlin. There are basically two rhythms and the song is all barre
chords. Remember the difference in spacing is not rhythm so don't be
playing it slow than all of a sudden quick. You'll see. Hope the
spacing is okay. Anyway here it is:
