Wheatus
MR. BROWN		TABBED BY MATTHEW JOHNSTON

This song kicks ass! One of the best on the album. This is one of my first tabs
but I have been playing guitar for ages and have a fairly musical ear so this
tab should be correct. If it is and you want to tell me it is or congratulate me or whatever, write to orig_prankster@hotmail.com

I have given tab and chords over the lyrics. The chords over the lyrics are there to show when the chord changes.

KEY

\  =  Slide (to an open string unless otherwise stated)
X  =  Lift the fretting hand off the strings slightly. It produces a percusive click.
pm-----  =  Palm Mute the chords shown above it.
