presidents of the usa - lump
I think some dude posted this in alt.guitar.tab a few months ago, but
here it is. The Presidents are the newest mega-band from Seattle. I guess
they are on MTV or something. That's crazy. The first time I saw them was
a year ago this week. hmm.

Is this song out of my head? I THINK SO!!! ba da ba ba bu ba da da
Hey, don't blame me if this is wrong. I didn't write it.
Song: Lump
Artist: The Presidents of the United States of America
I don't know why no one has posted this terrific song yet, so I will.
It's pretty simple, but fun. I play it in drop D tuning (low E
tuned down 1 whole step to D), 'cos it makes the quick switches
easier, but it isn't necessary. I'm not sure about the rhythm, but
the chords are accurate - have fun with it. This is tabbed in drop D.
'bh' is the slow bend that he holds and lets back down in the
[Chorus]
[Verse]

---11-10-9----------|
---11-10-9----------|

Again, its a really cool song - these chords are 100% accurate, I
think; its just a matter of finding the rhythm. Criticisms,
corrections, questions, flames, or any comments are much appreciated..
