Track: MH 4.18.2011
Artist: Blink-182
Album: Neighbourhoods
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Personally one of my favourite tracks from the Neighbourhoods album. I didn't like
the other tab, so I thought I'd give it a try. This is what I play when I play it
live - all done by ear. Usually there are 2 guitars, but I've merged them so you
only have to play one. Occasionally on this tab, I'll give you the choice of what
to play in some sections - this is your decision of what to play, I'm just giving
you the option. Just letting you know, what I play when playing this, I play the
FIRST option tabbed - if that makes sense.
If you like this tab, give it a rate. Also if you have any requests for other
songs you'd like me to tab, send me an email on the address above. Enjoy :)

choices you don't want to play.
