SONG TITLE: Walkin' On The Sun
                 ARTIST/GROUP: Smash Mouth




   Ok, there are two guitars in this song, one clean and one incredibly
   dirty. For that dirty sound, use a lot of distortion, use the bridge
   pickup, and pick the strings real close to the bridge.
   I'll divide the song into 4 or 5 riffs, then give you the lyrics.
   I have the timing below all the riffs, because it's a bit tricky in
   some places. I tried to say exactly where to play what, it may get
   a little confusing in places. It's probably easier to just learn the
   riffs and then listen to the song to hear when what is being played.
    Oh yeah, and if you want to play along with the CD you have to tune
   one note (half step) down, Smash Mouth are always tuned down.

   RIFF 3:
   -------
   This is the clean guitar again. This is
   what's used in the verses. Watch out for
   the timing, it's a bitch.

   INTRO:
   ------
   Clean guitar plays RIFF 1 two times,
   then the dirty guitar comes in and plays
   RIFF 2 two times. (At the same time the
   clean guitar keeps playing RIFF 1)


   VERSE 1: [clean guitar plays RIFF 3]
   --------
   It ain't no joke I'd like to buy the world a toke
   And teach the world to sing in perfect harmony
   And teach the world to snuff the fires and the liars
   Hey I know it's just a song but it's the spice for the recipe
   This is a love attack, I know it went out but it's back
   It's just like any fad it retracts before impact
   And just like fashion it's a passion for the with it and the hip
   If ya' got the goods they'll come and buy it just to stay in the cliqe


   [Ok, after he says cliqe the dirty guitar comes in,
   plays this below and then goes straight into RIFF 2 for
   the chorus.]
   E|-------------------------------------|
   B|-------------------------------------|
   G|-------------------------------------|
   D|----------------------------5-4-2----|
   A|----------------------------------0--|
   E|-------------------------------------|
       1 & 2 & 3 & 4 & 1 & 2 & 3 & 4 & 1
                                       |
                                     chorus starts on this one.

   During the chorus, the clean guitar plays the same notes as in
   the verses, but he plays the rhythm a little differently. You don't
   hear it much in the chorus, the dirty guitar is what's important
   there.


   CHORUS: [Dirty guitar plays RIFF 2 throughout chorus]
   -------
   So don't delay, act now
   Supplies are running out
   Allow if you're still alive,
   six to eight years to arrive
   And if you follow there maybe you're too hollow
   But if the offer is shun
   you might as well be walkin' on the sun


   [You play RIFF 2 three times in the chorus and
   then the 4th time you play it like this:]

   E|----------------------------------|
   B|----------------------------------|
   G|----------------------------------|
   D|----------4-4---------------------|
   A|----0-3-0-5-5---------------------|
   E|------------------0---------------|
       1 & 2 & 3 & 4 & 1 & 2 & 3 & 4 &
                    ...might as well be walkin' on the sun


   Then play RIFF 2 twice before starting verse 2.


   VERSE 2: [play like verse 1]
   --------
   Twenty-five years ago they spoke out and they broke out
   Of recession and oppression and together they toked
   And they folked out with guitars around a bonfire
   Just a singin' and a clappin' man what the hell happened?
   Yeah some were spellbound some were hellbound some they fell down
   And some got back up and fought back against the meltdown
   and their kids were hippie chicks, all hypocrites
   because fashion is smashin' the true meaning of it


   CHORUS: [play like previous chorus]
   -------
   So don't delay, act now
   Supplies are running out
   Allow if you're still alive,
   six to eight years to arrive
   And if you follow there maybe you're too hollow
   But if the offer is shun
   you might as well be walkin' on the sun


   KEYBOARD SOLO:
   --------------
   This is a keyboard arranged for guitar:

   A---------------------------------------------------|
   E---------------------------------------------------|



   VERSE 3:
   --------
   [clean guitar playing RIFF 1]
   It ain't no joke when a mama's hankerchief is soaked
   With her tears because her baby's life has been revoked

   [dirty guitar playing RIFF 2]
   The bond is broke up so choke up and focus on the close up
   Mr. Wizard can't perform, no God like hocus pocus

   [clean guitar playing RIFF 3 (normal verse riff)]
   So don't sit back, kick back and watch the world get bushwacked
   Use the ten your neighborhood is under attack
   Put away the crack before the crack puts you away


   You need to be there when your baby is old enough to relate
           |
           |
   The last line in this verse is played like this:

   E|----------------------------------|
   B|------5-------7-----8-8---8-8-----|
   G|------5-------7-----9-9---9-9-----| Clean Guitar
   D|----------------------------------|
   A|----------------------------------|
   E|----------------------------------| ----|
                                             |
       1 & 2 & 3 & 4 & 1 & 2 & 3 & 4 &       |-- These are being played
                                             |   at the same time.
   E|----------------------------------| ----|
   B|----------------------------------|
   G|----------------------------------| Dirty Guitar
   D|----------------------------------|
   A|----------------------------------|
   E|------------------0---------------|


   CHORUS: [play like previous choruses]
   -------
   So don't delay, act now
   Supplies are running out
   Allow if you're still alive,
   six to eight years to arrive
   And if you follow there maybe you're too hollow
   But if the offer is shun
   you might as well be walkin' on the sun


   OUTRO: [Dirty guitar plays RIFF 2 throughout...]
   ------
   You might as well be walkin' on the sun
   You might as well be walkin' on the sun
   You might as well be walkin' on the sun
   You might as well be walkin' on the sun
