Standard Tuning: E,A,D,G
Slide Up: /

The song starts out with a cool bass line similar to the one on Man Overboard by 
Blink 182 but it twice as fast and twice as hard to play. Play with a pick farther 
away from the neck and turn your tone nob on your bass to the maximum to get the 
same twang sound. I think it is the best song on their new album.  I’m 90% sure this 
is correct. Please post corrections if you find errors or better ways to play this.
