Tabbed by: André Lindberg Email: [email protected] Band: Bad Religion Album: The Empire Strikes First Song: Social Suicide I couldn't find a tab that sounded like the song on the cd. All the other tab seemed a off so here one pretty close to how i played it when i did song with my friends band a ago. I improvise a bit during the song with strum patters and fils but this is the basic parts of the song.

There are no "correct" ways to tab a but this is as close as it gets.
