Song: Going Away To College
Album: Enema of the State, Track 4
Artist: Blink 182
Originally transcribed by Effigy - esper69@hotmail.com
Corrected by Resiak - vector2uk@hotmail.com

I decided to correct this TAB. Effigy's original is very good, but I found
a few niggling errors... I've corrected:

* The Intro. It's got more than just powerchords.
* One note in Riff A and B.
* The start and end of the Chorus.

Intro: Rhy. Fig. 1   w/light distortion and low speed/depth phasing

Note: I'm not quite sure of the rhythm when changing between chords. Just
play what sounds right. You can get away without using any distortion at
this point, it sounds better with just the phasing in my opinion.

F# IS the correct chord. I removed the original alternative voicing of the
last F# because I thought it sounded dumb.
