Punk ass trippin' in the dead of night...

Homey scored a ki, he's gonna fly, punk ass fly

CHORD PLAYING TIPS:

When transitioning from the A to the F#m7/C#, don't just add your

ring finger onto the A, instead, bar all the strings. Then when you

have to play the Bm7/D, your first finger is already barred and does

not have to move.

When you play the Bm7/D, if the "G" string is a bit muted, that's o.k.,

the other notes do the work of the chord.

RHYTHM:

The chords are played softly and can be slopped together for effect.

For the verse chords, hit the lowest note twice then hit the chord

once (all down strokes), with a "shuffle" feel. The exception is

these two chords (A6/F# -- A6/e); for these chords, hit the lowest

note once and strum the chord once. Thus, this rhythm is similar to

the Incubus "Drive" song, where you can hit the base notes while your

fingers take some time to get into position on the chords.

Note: Dynamite Hack does some more intricate work on verse 5.

However, if you use the chorus chords it sounds fine.

Note: The chorus chord progression is just the first 4 chords of the

verse repeated twice.
