------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Tabbed by: min0r_threat E-mail: [email protected] The Dead Kennedys cover of this song is very different from the other covers/versions of this song in both lyrics and chord progression, so hopefully I figured out the way musically that the DK's did it (there is a lot of echo/reverb effect used that obscures the sound slightly).
