Tabbed By: Brandon Chastain [email protected] Private First Class by Kevin Devine & The Goddamn Band [Bubblegum] Drop D tuning, no capo Corrections/parts I didn't tab are absolutely welcomed. This is a "simple" version of the song. If you play this with a band you might want to change a lot of it match the studio version more closely.
