Song: Worker Bee Artist: Motion City Soundtrack Album: My Dinosaur Life Tabbed by: Colonel_Panic Notes: Not much to say. Great tune! I have tabbed the rhythm as accurately as possible. I haven't tabbed whether notes should ring out or be muted, as you can easily work this out by listening to the song. Finally, there is a third guitar which sometimes harmonises with the INTERLUDE octave riff – I haven't bothered to tab this part.
