Start Choppin by Dinosaur Jr START CHOPPIN' DINOSAUR JR. I've seen loads of tabs of this song. All of them are wrong or incomplete. This one is pretty complete. I do not take credit for this tab (nor ths mistakes that it might contain). I found it several years ago at tabcrawler.com, but it has since been taken down and is nowhere else to be found. Credit goes to the original tabber, Keith Vonderhulls.
