SONG:              Time Bomb
ARTIST:            Rancid
ALBUM:             ...And Out Come The Wolves
LYRICS WRITTEN BY: Rancid
MUSIC WRITTEN BY:  Rancid (except organ - Paul Jackson)
TABBED BY:         blister@ingress.com (Andy Amoeba)  Nov. '95

This song has puzzled many as to what exactly is a "ska" riff and so
on.  There really isn't anything special about Rancid's style at all.
It consists of basic power chords just being scratched downwards and
then strummed upwards.  That is the technique of ska and reggae.  I
recently saw an upload to nevada.edu with the chords for 'Time Bomb'
but I wasn't happy with it, and thought that some of it was wrong.
Tim is notorious for using power chords only.  No fancy shit...
As you can see, my tab is VERY different than the old one.
I hope this will clear things up.  Thanks to Simple557@aol.com
however for the efforts and starting me off on the right track to
tabbing this song out.  Don't forget to listen to the song in order
to obtain a sense of timing!  This is only an approximation!
P.S. - Sorry that I couldn't squeeze in the lyrics with the tab.
