----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Tabbed by:NOFXMIKE
Email:no

Tuning:EADgbe

CHords: E5 C#5 G#5 A5 B5
Reason for update: The verse was missing the resolve to E. Fixed. Now it sounds right. I 
also changed a few chord positions in the song to sound more like the album recording.

My eyelids shutter then fall to the floor
