Album: Boingo / Farewell Live
Written by: Danny Elfman

This is a chord representation of the song.  There are several solos that I
will not be tabbing, it is sixteen minutes long.  This should give you the
basic gist of the song.  If anyone has the tab for the whole song send it
to Harmony Central and add it to the Oingo Boingo section of tab.

if you would never, never, ...


Just to clarfiy, the octave number given are simply to show relativity. (ie,
between F#3 and F4), as the song is played on the lowest octave on the guitar.

This small riff is used throughout the song and can be used for the slowed
down tempo in the interlude section of the song.  Good basis for the solos.
