 "Transistor"
 Performed by 311
 >From the album "Transistor" on Capricorn/Mercury Records
 Music by: Chad Sexton
 Lyrics by: Nick Hexum and Doug Martinez
 (c) 1997 Hydroponic Music BMI

 Tabbed by Fred Lidskog 
 NOTE: ANOTHER INTERPRETATION OF THIS SONG, AND ONE THAT I NOW THINK IS THE
 RIGHT WAY TO PLAY IT, IS TO PLAY ONLY THE NOTES LISTED ON THE LOW "E"
 STRING, AND NOT THE ONES ON THE "A" STRING. IN OTHER WORDS, PLAY THE
 SINGLE NOTES ON THE "E" STRING INSTEAD OF THE POWER CHORDS LISTED BELOW,
 BUT ONLY IN "VERSE RIFFS 1 & 2", "CHORUS RIFF 1", AND "RIFF 3". THE OTHER
 RIFFS SHOULD BE PLAYED AS LISTED BELOW.
