There are three verses for this song; each uses the same riff. It is an easy song to play and sing along to, and sounds really good on acoustic. Bradley plays it on his acoustic album “Bradley Nowell and Friends”.
Use normal tuning.

B A F#
He got 15 bindles of cocaine tied up in a sack
The next two verses are exactly the same – listen to the CD to get the feel of the song and for the lyrics/or simply look up Sublime lyrics on the Internet.
Note: The B in the bridge part leads straight into the B of the next line i.e. “…he got 15 bindles…”
Also the F# at the end of the verse comes on with the word “sack” etc and is then strummed quickly about 13 times over and then the next verse begins back on B etc.
There is a short picking part at the end of the song which I have not been able to tab - any ideas: [email protected]
