Boss D.J.  by Sublime from "Robbin the Hood"
words and music by Bradley Nowell   tabbed by Noel Krueger
it starts off with lyrics
 
             G                  C                  G             C
There is a steel train comin through, and i would take it if i could, 
        G               C             G            C
and i would not lie to you because Sunday mornin soon will come,
          G                   C
and the things will be much easier to say,
 G                          C                      G
upon the microphone like a boss d.j., and i won't walk up upon the sea
         C             G                 C
like it was dry land, boss d.j. ain't nothing but a man
    G                                     C
no trouble no fuss (tap guitar twice),    I know why (short pause)
G      C       G                  C
It's sooo nice, I wanna hear the same song twice,
G      C       G                  C
It's sooo nice, I wanna hear the same song twice
             G                                    C
rumors are spreading all over my town, but it's just stones and sticks
      G                                C
cause on the microphone is where i go to get my fix
               G                          C
just let the lovin take a hold, cause it will if you let it
      G                      C
i'm funky not a junky but i know where to get it
    G                                     C
no trouble no fuss  (tap guitar twice),   I know why (short pause)
G      C       G                  C
it's sooo nice, I wanna hear the same song twice
G      C       G                  C
it's sooo nice, I wanna hear the same song twice
 
(for the next part, switch to bar chords for A# (sixth fret) and G (third fret)
for C use the eighth fret, and for the D use the tenth fret for the root)
 
   G            A#            G            A#
oooweee girl, ooowee girl, ooowee girl, ooowee ee girl
          C                        D       C                      D
and there really ain't no time to waste, really ain't no time to hate,
              C        D     C       D
ain't got no time to waste, time to hate, 
G                                 C       D
really ain't no time to make the time go way,  ay ay ay ay
 
(go back to regular chords until the A#, then use a bar chord like before)
           G                    C             G
so mister d.j. don't stop the music, i wanna know 
          C                  G     A#
are you feelin the same way too?  
                      G            A#            G             A#
i wanna rock it with you girl, ooo ooo girl, ooo ooo girl, ooo hoo hoo,
 
solo
C bar chord, D bar chord, repeat (strum slowly, picking each string, listen
to the song to get the right feeling, you pick the G,B, and E strings four
times before moving to the D bar chord and vice versa.
 
he sings the ooo hoo stuff while doing the solo.
 
you do the C, D, thing four times, and the fourth time strumming the E,A,
and D strings of both the C and D chords before moving back to the G.
it picks up
      G        C       G                 C
cause  it's sooo nice,  i wanna hear the same song twice
G       C       G                 C
it's sooo nice,  i wanna hear the same song twice (short pause)
D               C                    D
now-a-days the songs on the radio all, all drive me crazy

Great tab! And btw, instead of "cause i'm spendin' all of a my time, it's just stones and sticks", it's "Rumors are spreadin' all over my town, it is just stones and sticks.." Peace =P
