Daniel Gerrity's version was very close, but I added a few notes to the
verse and chorus riffs. I also tabbed some parts for a five string. I
would HIGHLY recommend using a 5-string for 311 songs. P-Nut uses the low B
string in almost all of 311's more recent songs. I made it a little easier to
read as well.
