#First song from the enonymous album of the greatest band ever on the face of this earth.
#Have been playing this song for years and i think its pretty damn accurate.
#Corroborated by live performances by the band in newcastle. and the LA dvd etc.
#Rhythm note durations are included, but you might want to ignore them.
#
#Basically, the chords could be 5th "power" chords or major bar chords as you choose.
#I think top half of the bar is used for most of the track.
#
#I hope to get more of the pretenders punk moments online, they seem neglected by tabbers!:o
