This Aint No Picnic

Hey, how's it goin. I'm a huge Minutemen fan and there isn't enough of

tab of them on the net. This is a great song off of the Double Nickels

On The Dime CD, and you can also find it on Ballot Result. My band did

a cover of it on our demo tape.

The intro is the only tough part...

e--------0---------0---------0----------------------------------------------

G--7-7---6---5-5---4---3-3---2--------8-------------------------------------

hold this

chord

I'm not even going to try to indicate the strumming, it's really fast. You

can get it by listening to the recording. Here are the chords:

E? and C?

e--------------------------------------------------------------------------

B------8-------------------------------------------------------------------

G------7------------9------------------------------------------------------

D------6------------8------------------------------------------------------

A------7------------7------------------------------------------------------

E--0-0-0------------8------------------------------------------------------

Just strum them and get the clicks in. The name of the chords is something

like E7#9 or something, but people I know usually just call it "that Hendrix

chord." That's the verse part, and the chorus is just drums.

C? Hey mister, don't look down on me

E? For what I believe (etc.)

It goes intro-verse-chorus-solo (over verse)-verse-chorus

the outro is just E- --0000000------

I just use the E-Pentatonic scale on the twelth fret for the solo...

I'm sure d would approve

Here's the Bass

For the intro, just stand there and look cool. When the guitarist starts

slamming on E?, the second bar come in with G---/9 and hold it.

Then go into

C? E?

I think it varies a little bit, but Watt is real hard to tab. Enjoy, and

e-mail me with some more Minutemen, DK, or Living Colour tab if ya get any.
