This might be confusing, think of the bassline also as a rhythm Guitar riff and listen to the song while you play it so you Don't get TOO confused...
Here's an attempt at that riff (riff 1)
Here's the first part of the verse (riff 2) you might wanna use pwr Crds
And the 2nd part (riff 3) hit the power chord then play the riff
A-|-7----9-7-9-7-6-7--7---9-7-9-7-6-(go-right-into-chorus)---------------
Verse
Riff 2 over this bassline: You and I should get away for a while I just wanna be alone with your smile Play riff 2 here and same bassline
Grab some candy and cigarettes and we'll get in my car We'll blast the stereo and we'll drive to Madagascar
Chorus
Cuz when I'm with you there's nothing I wouldn't do I just wanna be yer only one I'm grasping at straws thinking back to what i saw That night on the floor when we were all alone
(play riff 1) Now, same stuff... different words (riff2 over bassline) My love life was getting so bland There are only so many ways i can make love with my hand (riff 3 over same bassline) Sometimes it makes me want to laugh Sometimes i wanna take my toaster in the bath
<CHORUS> Interlude: EBC#A... (riff one over bassline that goes over final verse)
Remember!!! 1) Always play along with the CD 2) I am not perfect (email me with corrections 3) have fun!

Song: M&M's Artist: blink 182 Album: cheshire cat Tabbed by: Steve Francis (No I didn't really have to pay ten Bucks to get my name in the credits)
I've been playing this song for a while now and reciently saw the Tab you had for it in here. There was a lot of things wrong With it so I thought I'd clear it up for you a little. Just Before song starts the high pitch squeel is this e--4-- let it Ring a little. B--5--
FORM Because power chords can be played on several different places on the fretboard I use this Riff formula to be specific. The number is the fret Verse at which the root note is found followed by PreChorus either an "e" or and "a". An "e" means put the Chorus root and the E string. An "a" means put it on Riff A string. Example 7a means x799xx. 7e is 799xxx Verse 2 There are two exceptions Pe means 022xxx and PreChorus 2 Pa means x022xxx. If you dont understand I'll Chorus put the power chord letter name under it.
