This is my first tab and i’m not sure exactly how to do it so im just gonna
wing it. This is how i play it and it sounds pretty close if not exact.

Chords used in the order they are played for the intro plus majority of the
song the strumming is really simple, you can pick it up while you listen and
read this:

e--x----x----x----x----x-|
B--x----x----5----3----2-|
G--4----7----6----4----3-|
D--4----7----7----5----4-|
A--2----5----7----x----x-|
E--x----x----x----x----x-|

Beginning Solo Tab (im not gonna tab the notes for each actual note played)

e------------------------- e---------------------|
B-------3h5--3-----3-----3 B-------3h5--3-----5--|
G--2h4----------4--------- G--2h4----------4-----|
D---------------------4---(x3)D---------------------|
A------------------------- A---------------------|
E------------------------- E---------------------|

Middle Solo Tab (im not gonna tab the notes for each actual note played)

e-------------------------------------------------------------|
B-------------------------------------------------------------|
G--9/--9--7--4--9/--9--7--4-----------------------------------|
D----------------------------------------------9--7--4--2--0--|
A----------------------------2--5--7--9--7--5-----------------|
E-------------------------------------------------------------|

I don’t know the names of the segments of songs that well(prelude, chorus, etc)
This is when they singing:
“Just how desperate can we be? Go buy our records and see…”
Bb G D A B? Bb

e--x----x----x----x--x--x-|
B--x----x----x----x--x--x-|
G--x----x----7----x--x--x-|
D--9----5----7----7--8--9-|
A--9----5----5----7--8--9-|
E--7----3----x----5--6--7-|

Then the part that leads INTO the whispered “on the inside…”

e--x----x----x-|
B--x----x----x-|
G--x----x----x-|
D--4----5----7-|
A--4----5----7-|
E--2----3----5-|

The the actual whispered “on the inside is the same chorus chords again.

I hope this helped somebody out there who loves Against Me! as much as i do!
And also, if i missed any of the parts or something doesn’t make sence, comment or mail
or what ever. Thanks
