(There are only two chords through the entire song. He just picks them kind of randomly, you don't have to be accurate but you should pick them a bit like this)

Verse 1:
D            G
Early in the morning
D             G
Rise into the street
D                G               D                 G
Light me up that cigarette and I strap shoes on my feet
D             G
Got to find a reason
D                  G
reason things went wrong
D             G             D           G
Got to find a reason why my money's all gone
D          G
I got a Dalmatian
D               G
I can still get high
D              G             D             G
I can play the guitar like a motherfuckin' riot

Verse 2:
    D [guitar stops, bass keeps playing]
Life is too short so love the one ya got 

'cause you might get run over or ya might get shot
D                              G
Never have the battle with the bulletproof vest
D                    G
Never start static I get it off my chest
D                     G
Take a small example,  a tip from me
D                               G
Take all of your money, give it up to charity
D                   G
Love is what I got, within my reach
    D                     G
the Sublime style's still straight from Long Beach
   D                                  G
It comes back to you, you're going to get what you deserve
D                         G
Try and test that, you're bound to get served
D                        G
Love's what I got, don't start a riot
       D                           G
you'll feel it when the dance gets hot

Chorus: [In this chorus you play the GUITAR-SOLO (above) again while the singer is singing]

D       G           D
Loving,   is what I got
         G
I said remember that
D       G           D
Loving,   is what I got
         G
I said remember that

(After the chorus come some weird sounds that I don't know how to play. Just let the guitar be silent and let the bass play 'D  G' 4 times)

Verse 3:
D                G
I don't cry when my dog runs away
D                         G
I don't get angry at the bills I have to pay
D                          G
I don't get angry when my mom smokes pot
D                         G
Hits the bottle and goes back to the rock
D                  G
Fuck it, fight it, it's all the same
D                                G
Living with Louie Dog's the only way to stay sane
D               G                   D   [guitar stop, weird sound]
Let the loving, let the loving come back to me

Chorus: (no guitar solo in this chorus)
D       G           D
Loving,   is what I got
         G
I said remember that
D       G           D
Loving,   is what I got
         G
I said remember that

Outro:
D [strum once, then stop]
Loving,   is what I got

I said remember that
D [strum once, then stop]
Loving,   is what I got

I said remember that

(the rest of the outro is just repeating the chorus like usual many times, but there's a lot of picking in it that I've transcribed below)

     D        G        D        G        D       G       D    G
E|-------------------------------------------------------------------
B|---7--------7--------7--------7--------7---7b8-7---7b8-7----5--3---
G|------7--------7--------7--------7---------------------------------
D|---------7--------7--------7--------7------------------------------
A|-------------------------------------------------------------------
E|-------------------------------------------------------------------

    D      G      D    G        D        G        D [chords stop]
E---------------------------------------------------------------|
B---3---\1-1-0--------------0------7--------7--------7----------|
G-----------------2-2----2------2-----7--------7----------------|
D----------------------------------------7--------7-------------|
A---------------------------------------------------------------|
E---------------------------------------------------------------|
                                           "...I got, I got, I got..."

Then comes a distorted electric guitar that plays this:
     D       G     D      G      D       G      D     G     D
E|---------------------------------------------------8---7-7-5-------|
B|-------------------------------------------------------------------|
G|-----------------------------------------7b8-7---------------------|
D|---------------------------------------------------------------7---|
A|---5---------------------------------5-------------------------5---|
E|---------8-8-7-5-5----7-8--7-5-------------------------------------|

I do believe that the 12 you have tabbed on the high e-string of the solo is, in fact, a 10. I am not 100% sure, but I personally think it sounds better.

The "wierd noises" that you're talking about, is when he runs the pick up and down the string... dont know if that'll help anyone

I agree with Marl1nMan5on... The 12 should be changed to a 10 on the high e string. I am 100% sure that is the correct way to play the solo.

i'm sure you heard this, but the 12th fret in the solo should be changed to the 10th:





E|--------------10-----------


B|--------10h12----12-12p10--


G|--11h12--------------------


D|---------------------------


A|---------------------------


E|---------------------------





if you have any questions or just want to tell me to shut up, e-mail me at meteora913@aol.com
