GENERATOR by Bad Religion. Album : Generator(1992)
In my books, this has always been a real punk-rock classic! And what comes to
that jazzy, out of scale pre-chorus.. I won't tab it. If Jay didn't bother to
write it, I won't bother to tab it.
!tune your bass 1/4 step down!

Hope you got something outta it.. This was pretty frustrating to tab.
