Artist: Grinspoon Song: Violent and Lazy Album: Easy Transcribed By: Tony Trajkov Email Me At: [email protected] Ive looked around for some tabs for this song but none of them seem to be right. So i thought id figure it all out and put the song together the way i learnt it. And ill tell you all now, this tab is 100% correct.

Just listen to it, heaps easy. But thats basically the whole song. And i promise you this is the right way to play it. There is also a second guitar that you can hear in some parts of the song that plays a few of the chords with some distortion on, but i wouldnt worry about that at all. If you have any questions at all, just email me at [email protected] Id also like to thank a few people just randomly. Thanks to milly, joel, rhys, jared, simmo and jacky.
