Verse 1

(C#		      F#(8)    	C#  F#(8)   C#          G#)
dad, dad, why did you let that man push you around like that 
you should've beat him down - down to the ground - down to the ground for that 

verse2

F#	  C#		    Eb		  C#		  G#	
he says, "son, you're still young and you always jump the gun" 
F#	                     C#		    
there are real people in the big, big trucks
Eb                            C# 
that you flip off when they get in your road 
F#	                     C#	               Eb
you get so hacked, that you pay no mind to the great big sign that says 
G#
oversized load 
F#	                     C#	              Eb          C#
do you really think they can go as fast as you in your 87 trans am 
F#	                     C#	                      Eb
they know you're in a terrible rush but they're going just as fast, as 
G#
fast as they can 

INTRO ONCE

=Verse 1

dad, dad, i really don't understand what driving big trucks has to do
with that man 
you should've taught him a lesson about being rud- e about talking to you
with such an attitude 

= verse 2
son you're still youngand you always jump the gun 
you get so hacked, that you pay no mind to the great big sign that says
oversized load 
do you really think they can go as fast as you in your 87 trans am 
they know you're in a terrible rush but they're going just as fast, as fast
as they can

Comments about this tab

whoever tabbed this out is unfortunately tone deaf. my apologizes to whoever did this, but the truth hurts.

you ain't kidding. this is horrible.

This tab is closer than previous comments let on.

The author is innaccurate on the chorus and little off on the riff, but the author is not tone deaf. (S)he is is a half-step flat which points to vinyl pressing and a cheap turntable with a slow motor. Don't feel like posting a new song (just dropped in for the lyrics) but for the curious:

Try this: C#=D; F#=G; G#=A. Also Eb needs to be converted to Em.

Also, line beginning "Son, you're still young" goes G D Em A (I think, though in the author's defense the counter-point lead guitar part blurs the second half of the phrase playing non-chord tones)

The rest of the chorus is (G D Em G) x 3 followed by G D Em A
