"this ain't no picnic"

the minutemen are an awesome band because they don't use your typical chords. more fun 
tab than most punk songs. here it goes --


this is the introduction. you can play the first chord in the shape of the other 7#9's 
"purple haze" but i like the on i wrote down better as it's slightly easier to switch to 
(at least for a guitar newbie)

INTRO (slowly)

E7#9         B7   D7#9     A7    C7#9    G7              B7

notes, but basically just solo in pentatonic for awhile. if you don't know what that is 
find out. :D

you can play the chords however you want though. i actually prefer to play
the Em7 as a barre chord at the 7th fret. anyways, cheers. i'll have the solo up soon.
