Author/Artist: Audio Adrenaline Title: Were a Band Album: Don't Censor Me Transcribed by: Matt Gates Email: aslane@juno.com This is the Don't Censor Me version of this song. I haven't found a really good transcription yet so I decided to figure it out myself. I left out the little bridge where he repeats over and over "doing the things I do" etc. because I couldn't figure it out. ---------|-|-------------------------------------------------||--------------- ---------|-|-------------------------------------------------||--------------- ---------|-|-------------------------------------------------||--------------- ---------|-|9--9--x--x--x--x--9--9--x--x--x--x--12--x--12--12||x--x--9--9--x-- ---------|-|7--7--x--x--x--x--7--7--x--x--x--x--12--x--12--12||x--x--7--7--x-- ----/12\-|-|7--7--x--x--x--x--7--7--x--x--x--x--10--x--10--10||x--x--7--7--x-- mid dist.
