No Doubt - Sailin On Tab

This song has two versions. It has the laid back ska version
that is on the MOM album. It also has a faster style that ND
usually play at their live shows. Unfortunately, none of my
bootlegger friends have ben able to locate a copy of the fast
version so this below is the ska style taken straight from
the album.

Part 1 (the verse and everything before the first chorus)
Verse 1- reverb on guitar

The above two chords (one chord = one column) are the only
Chords used in the verse. I don't think you need me to tell
you exactly when to hit them. Just remember that those are
the chords and make them fit!!

Chorus- turn on distortion/reverb

The chorus is only two chords long (just keep repeating them!!).
However after the second chorus there is a variation when
Gwen says "Yeah" right before the first horn solo. This is it.
Do this directly after completing the chorus for the second time.variation- distortion
-m- -m- -m- -m- (studder last chord to the beat)
-m- -m- -m- -m-
-m- -m- -m- -m-

  
 5   6   5   6

 3   4   3   4 

Everything else is fairly self explanatory until they get to
the last leg of the song. When the song really picks up and
Gwen is saying "Too many years with too many tears". When this
Part starts quietly just use the verse chords. However when it
gets loud switch to these chords and turn on your distortion.

Rotate between these chords. If you don't know when to play
each one play along with the cd. Make sure your guitar is
in tune!! The last part is the wind down when Gwen says "OHHHH"
It is also two chords.

THAT'S IT!! Now you can jam on Sailin' On all you like.
Enjoy!!
