Listen to the record for the strumming pattern of the intro &
chorus (they’re the same). I added some information at the
bottom to give you more insight into how this tab came about.
The Movement from G to Em7 to Cadd9 is relatively quick, while
the D and G that come after this movement has a few strums to
them. This movement is steady and should dictate the speed and
rhythm that the vocals in the chorus are delivered.
Special Chords:
Em7: 022033
Cadd9: 023033
Intro: G Em7 Cadd9 D G
G Em7 Cadd9 D G
G Cadd9
Down and out when I used to walk the same way
D
Home from school
G Cadd9
I hoped I’d see her and then when I didn’t
D
I was crushed, like the bully that stole my lunch

Oh yeah, oh yeah

It seems so hard for me to do
Cadd9 G
To be myself when I’m with you

G Em7 Cadd9 D G
And she gave me, a milkshake and a kiss
G Em7 Cadd9 D G
I don’t need a whole lot more than this
Interlude: G Em7 Cadd9 D G
G Cadd9
Take me back in time when I, I didn’t give fuck (darn)
D
About what I said or did
G Cadd9
But when I did it, it was done and nothing more was less
G Cadd9 D
Oh yeah, oh yeah
Cadd9 G
It seems so hard for me to do
Cadd9 G
To be myself when I’m with you

NOTE ABOUT THIS TRANSCRIPTION:
This chord/tab is based on an e-mail I received from the band
back in 2000, with instructions on how they performed their
acoustic version on the air via Portland’s WCYY radio station
(could have been WMGX, I don’t really remember). I believe lead
vocalist and guitarist Bob Whalen sent it, but I don’t have the
print out anymore so I’m not positive.
I haven’t played guitar in five years, so it took me some time
to figure this out again. I even resorted to e-mailing the
members of the band again but got no replies (no surprise, they’
re no longer together). So if you guys have any ideas, I can
always integrate any corrections later. Also, I don’t have the
tab for the lead lick, so anyone out there wants to give it a
shot, by all means!
Ideas may be sent to: norcrossmedia@gmail.com upon review,
changes will be either integrated in this document or posted
below as "other option", so that all possible ways of playing
this song are provided.
If you're a fan of Angry Salad and know how to play their other
songs, please don't hold back dude! Submit your tab here or to
