Idiot Son Of An Asshole Tabs

(ver. 1)
Nofx
This song is on the new war on errorism album on the cd rom as
video footage of a live performance, along with a whole load of 
other anti-bush goodies. As it's live, it was a bit harder to 
work out, due to feedback + the guitars getting drowned out, etc... 
but i think this is near perfect. Any comments or suggestions 
+ give me an e-mail if you want the lyrics too, cause apparently 
i can't post them here.... 

Ok, enough ramble, here's the tab

-changes on 24/05/2003: split the verse into 4 parts, makes 
more sence now. Fit perfectly with bass tab now too.

-changes on 16/07/2003: hello again children. 2 notes on "Verse 2, 
part 3, Guitar A" were wrong. Not a big change really but at least it's 
all deliciously correct now.
