Song Title: Roots Radicals

The verse riff basically follows the guitar with a few exceptions:
Repeat throughout the verses (figure out the sixteenth note rhythms on your own,
these are all just eight notes)

That's the riffs of the song. Very easy, but cool to play.
I hope things aren't too messed up, because this is my first tab submission.
I didn't put any measure bars or note values with the tab because, at least
in my case, whem I get a tab off the internet, I'm already familiar with the
song and all that other stuff just makes it harder to read.  This is tab
plain and simple--where to put your fingers on the fretboard so you can play
the song.
So, forget all that other stuff, and enjoy taking the 60 bus!
