Another great Screeching Weasel song.  People don't seem to appreciate the chord chart format
I've been using (I consider it more useful than straight forward tablature, but c'est la vie)
so I've included the tablature for the Verse, Chorus and Bridge below.  With that and the chord
chart after it there should be no complaints.
