I wrote this tab because I went looking for it, and it was all wrong, and I got tired of acting like bad asses with the wrong tab. That’s gay.

DBm Hey, you've got a lot of nerve AG To show your face 'round here DBm Hey, you've got a lot of nerve AG To dredge up all my fears

This is how it sounds best- especially on acoustic guitars. If you listen for the trends the playing, you can figure out the style and play the little hammer ons and pull offs make it sound even better. Let me know what you think. Ryan
