Pennywise was formed in 1988 in Hermosa Beach, California by four members Jim Lindberg (vocals), Fletcher Dragge (guitar), Byron McMackin (drums) and Jason Thirsk (bass). They released two EPs: A Word from the Wise (1989) and Wildcard (1989). Each of the band members had played in other bands in the Hermosa Beach, California area and attended the same high school.
The group signed to Epitaph Records in 1990 and released their first album Pennywise (1991).

Here is a tab for pennywise. it is stand by me.
Song: Stand By Me Band: Pennywise Album: Wildcard/A Word From The Wise From: [email protected]/Brendan Campbell
AF#mDEA When the night has come F#m And the land is dark DEA And the moon is the only light we'll see
No, I won't be afraid, Fm No, I won't be afraid DEA Just as long as you stand, stand by me.
Chorus:
So, darling, darling, stand by me, * Fm Oh, stand by me. DEA Oh, stand, stand by me, Stand by me.
If the sky that we look upon Should tumble and fall Or the mountain should crumble in the sea, I won't cry, I won't cry, No, I won't shed a tear Just as long as you stand, stand by me.
Chorus ** Then It repeats the whole thing. Throw in some palm mutes and you'll rule.
I can't take credit for the tab. It was originally by someone else and it was listed under Ben E. King. I just modified it to the way Pennywise plays it(*) that is where the guitar comes in. I left what was there before so you can get an idea of what the bass is playing. (**) that is where it goes heavy distortion and picks up the tempo. I am working on Final Chapters and Covers from their album A Word From the Wise/Wildcard. If anyone knows why it is also called Wildcard e-mail me. I am always up for e-mail([email protected])so mail me and tell me how did. Oh ya I don't know the solo. Also at the begining it sounds like a wah-wah all the way down w/a clean amp tone. When you print this out do it in notepad otherwise it might move things around. If not you'll get the picture. For those of you that don't know chord names here they are:
A F#M D E Don't forget to give and not just take. I--O--I I--2--I I--2--I I--O--I give some PW tabs. They aren't I--2--I I--2--I I--3--I I--O--I hard. I--2--I I--2--I I--2--I I--1--I I--2--I I--4--I I--O--I I--2--I I--O--I I--4--I I--O--I I--2--I I--X--I I--2--I I--X--I I--O--I
