			     Ain't gonna stand for it - Stevie Wonder

Tuning: Standard

This was a tricky song to work out. lots of little improvisations he does 
but I think I got them all. Also, the chords I worked out are at the bottom
should you wish to improve on the tab or play along with a guitarist. 

Intro/verse:

G|----------------------------------------------------------------------|
D|----------------------------------------------------------------------|
A|--------4----5----7----5------------4-----4---4/5----/7-----7---7-8---|
E|---5---------------------------5------4-4---4-----------7-7---7-------|

Chorus (slap and pop):

G|-----11---10----9---9----8---9----|   |----------------------------|

E|----------------------------------|   |-----5-7-----5-7---7-5------|

                                        |-----------------------------------|
                                        |-----------------------------------|
                                        |-7-7-----7-7--------7\\\-9\\\------|
                                        |-----7-9-----7-9--------------7\\\-|
