Ok. Here is a very short song (NoFX version is short but Germs version is a 
little different and longer). Timing is a bitch and you have to be playing fast 
and continuous. This version is only a minute long so I think anyone can take it. 
I would definitely listen for timing and play along with the cd becuz it is a good guide. I am even giving the bass tabs for it also, becuz they are exactly like the guitar (I could be wrong though, I don't play bass). Just listen to the record and see. Enjoy!

There! Done! I hope you enjoy this one. It is an easy song to play but it is 
so short and fast on  "45 or 46...", that it is difficult to comprehend the 
first few times. Don't bother asking for lyrics, they are impossible to find 
and even more impossible to understand when Fat Mike is saying them. I am going 
to try and figure them out sometime though. If anyone finds the lyrics,please 
email them to me at [email protected] and I would greatly appreciate it! 
Thanks!
