SONG: Knowledge
ARTIST: Operation Ivy
ALBUM: Energy (Lookout! 10)
LYRICS WRITTEN BY: Jesse (except * - written by Lint)
MUSIC WRITTEN BY: Lint (Tim Armstrong) & OpIvy
TABBED BY: blister@ingress.com (Andy Amoeba) Nov. '95
I recently downloaded the chord progression from nevada.edu and
noticed that the tab given was not really correct. The tab was
originally posted by trebor@alpha2.csd.uwm.edu but it to my
knowledge (no pun intended) that the song is basically written
for standard tuning. For those of you who know about OpIvy's
(more specifically Tim's) style, you'd know that he generally uses
standard tuning and power chords. I hope the following will clear
things up a bit and the main riff is C, Bb, and F.

This time I got it all...
Here are the entire lyrics:
*I know things are getting tougher
When you can't get the top off from the bottom of the barrel.
Wide open road of my future now...
It's looking fucking narrow.
All I know is that I don't know nothing.
We get told to decide.
Just like as if I'm not going to change my mind.
All I know is that I don't know nothing.
Whatcha gonna do with yourself,
Boy better make up your mind...
Whatcha gonna do with yourself boy,
You're running out of time.
This this I got it all figured out:
All I know is that I don't know nothing...
And that's fine.
Here is the original post. While I acknowledge that he stated in
standard tuning the chords are C, Bb, and F, but the actual tabbing
of his fails to show this. Many thanks however for his efforts.
Comments are welcome: blister@ingress.com

Since the tab for Green Day's cover of Knowledge was recently posted,
here is the original by Operation Ivy. Mostly power chords, but a really
great riff too. The D,C,G progression goes throughout the whole song
(verse and refrain) if you want all the lyrics, they are in the CD.
Tune down one whole step for this song D,G,C,F,A,D. Or to play in
standard tuning, play C,Bb,F and play the riff off of 3rd position.
