BE STIFF - Big Business
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Artist: Big Business
Song: Be Stiff (originally by Devo)
Release: Tour EP [II]
Year: 2006
Website: www.bigbigbusiness.com
MySpace: www.myspace.com/bigbigbusiness
Tabbed by: Matt Whittle
e-mail: mattjwhittle@hotmail.com
Tuning: standard [EADG]
This is my first tab, so my apologies if it's way off
the mark. I love this song, and it's pretty easy to play
compared to BB's other stuff (that's probably cos it's
not a BB song, it's a Devo song). I'm not sure what tuning
Jared uses, but I found it easy to play in E, so I tabbed
it to that. Some bits may be wrong, and I may have missed
some bits, but it sounds alright to me :) Enjoy.
