  It is hard to hear the guitar in the song because the bass comes out so
strong in the mix but this is as close as I can get and any suggestions or
comments are welcome.

Title:     M-16
Album:  Milo Goes to College

The above is basicly the whole song,
The guitars rest while the bass takes
the intro for two measures.
Here is the song flow:
*Intro*
(W/Bass)
riff A
*Verse 1*
rhy fig 1-(3x)
riff A
*Chorus*
rhy fig 2
*Verse 2*
rhy fig 1-(3x)
riff A
*Chorus*
rhy fig 2
*outro*
rhy fig 3

Verse 1= Go Shoot your M-16
              Go Shoot Your M-16
              Go Shoot Your M-16
              I'm not gonna live your American Dream

Chorus= Army life is right for me
             Kill to save democracy
             Got a rebel in my sights
             Moneys worth more that his life
             So Kill,  It's Fun

Verse 2= Shoot him, Youre better than him
              Shoot him, in the eye
              Shoot him, if it gives you a thrill
              Just like a kid, only now it's for real

  This song may not be totally right, but unlike some
of the other Descendents songs I've seen here it is very
easy to read.  I will send more if this goes up on the tabs.
