Anthem Tabs

(ver. 3)
Blink-182
Blink 182
"Anthem Part Two"

Updated August 20, 2000

Note: The controversial interlude riff can be played on bass or guitar, I have
it transcribed for guitar.  If the riff is played on bass, my apologies, but I
fail to understand how that has anything to do with the accuracy of the tab.
