Box Car Racer - All Systems Go

Guitarist - Tom DeLonge

Tabbed by: "Tukkis" of Everything's Taken


Pretty straight forward song.  Hope you have fun playing it.  It's great to just jump around and play and have fun.

I know there are two guitarists in this band (lead, and rhythm) but I tabbed what I hear, and I'm pretty sure it's the lead so don't get too icky about how i dont include the rhythm guitarist.


I will try and tab more when I have the time, but I am almost 100% positive that this tab is rite.So...
