"this ain't no picnic"
as tabbed by primusfan
 
the minutemen are an awesome band because they don't use your typical chords. more fun
tab than most punk songs. here it goes --
 
 
this is the introduction. you can play the first chord in the shape of the other 7#9's
"purple haze" but i like the on i wrote down better as it's slightly easier to switch to
(at least for a guitar newbie)
 
INTRO (slowly)
 
E7#9         B7   D7#9     A7    C7#9    G7              B7
 
E-3-3--------2--------------0------------1---------------2--|

SOLO -- i'm doing this kinda rushed, but here's the gist of the solo. i'm missing lots
notes, but basically just solo in pentatonic for awhile. if you don't know what that is
find out. :D

you can play the chords however you want though. i actually prefer to play
the Em7 as a barre chord at the 7th fret. anyways, cheers. i'll have the solo up soon.

In the intro the B7 should be an Eb7#9 and the A7 should be a Db7#9. In the verse the two chords should be C7#9 and E7#9. All played with the bass note on the A string.
