"Transistor"
Performed by 311
From the album "Transistor" on Capricorn/Mercury Records
Music by: Chad Sexton

Tabbed by Fred Lidskog

NOTE: ANOTHER INTERPRETATION OF THIS SONG, AND ONE THAT I NOW THINK IS THE
RIGHT WAY TO PLAY IT, IS TO PLAY ONLY THE NOTES LISTED ON THE LOW "E"
STRING, AND NOT THE ONES ON THE "A" STRING. IN OTHER WORDS, PLAY THE
SINGLE NOTES ON THE "E" STRING INSTEAD OF THE POWER CHORDS LISTED BELOW,
BUT ONLY IN "VERSE RIFFS 1 & 2", "CHORUS RIFF 1", AND "RIFF 3". THE OTHER
RIFFS SHOULD BE PLAYED AS LISTED BELOW.

Verse Riff 1:

buck there's no luck, then there's no luck
Then again if you came for drama then I can't understand
Music critics, music critics

Been in a mix, been in a mix
From the grass roots so big up to our friends
Every crew every click and every posse
Big up to all the heads not of hypocrisy

Brothers from another planet and here once again
Automatic, automatic wanna take to the universe in a holographic

Your polluted air's no problem for these homeys
