Tablature by Patrick Rose 9/13/2008 Deathcabforpaddy@gmail.com I believe Weezer is playing this song in their usual 1/2 step down tuning, however, I tabbed it out in standard tuning. It may very well be eaiser to play half a step down and if you try to play it that way just remember to move your hand one fret to the left. ;) If you want to play chords over the arpeggios I believe the chords used are something like: F#, B, C#, Dm# Song in 4/4 and for the most part the notes are 8th notes. This song is a bit trick to tab because although it all has the same basic form the fills on the end of the arpeggio are played differently.
