Here's one of the Bates' great cover-versions. This song's an all time classic and just rocks if played in this very punkrock way. But to cut a long story short, you already know this song well and will hopefully be happy about the tab. Comments, corrections or flames are welcome. You find the chordchart as usually below the song. Have Fun:
HELLO - THE BATES

F#5 G#5 - A5 (guitar stops, bass is playing alone)

-Repeat first part of chorus twice over E5-C#5-G#5-B5 chord progression, change the lyrics of the last line(when played 2nd time) to:
E5 C#5 G#5 B5
Is there anybody out there....
-During the solo the rhythm guitar sticks with the Chorus chord progression and repeats the la la la life part.
-Repeat first part of chorus twice, then play la la - part, which is the OUTRO:
guitar 2 lets E - chord ring then guitar 1 fades out silently with A - chord and echo effect.

It took me a while getting this one typed. One of the reasons is that they forgot to put the lyrics in the cover, so I had to find those out by myself and I'm not sure, if they're right.
Special thanks for this song goes to Crowpunk@hotmail.com. I'd be really happy to get feedback about this one. Any punksong from Sweden's skatecore scene(burningheartrecords:No Fun at all, Millencolin, Home Grown or Liberator) is appreciated, too. Greetings to all Coeur D' Alene, Post Falls and Spokane people and US punkrockers and to Japan(Hiroyuki, Yukiko), Sweden(Johanna) and Brazil(Vitor).
