This is my favorite Devo song and has a really cool bassline.

I've looked all over and I finally decided to tab it out myself.

After many revisions, this tab is (I believe) 99% correct.

Standard tuning

Rest 10 measures

Intro (gradually increasing tempo):

G:--------|--------|--------|--------|---------|

D:--------|--------|--------|--------|---------|

A:-7------|--------|3-------|--------|5--------|

E:(0)-----|3-------|--------|5-------|---------|

The very first note is an open E, but after that it is played on the 7th fret

of the A string

Chorus & Just before vocals start:

G:--------|--------|--------|--------|---------|

D:--------|--------|--------|--------|---------|

A:77777777|--------|33333333|--------|55555555-|

E:--------|33333333|--------|55555555|---------|

Verse (Play 2 times):

G:--------|--------|-------|---------|--------|

D:--------|---5-430|-------|---777567|--------|

A:7--7-77/|--------|3--3034|0--------|5-5-5056|

E:--------|3-------|-------|---------|--------|

Then play this 2 times:

G:--------|--------|-------|---------|--------|

D:---6-789|---5-345|-------|---777567|--------|

A:7-------|--------|3--3034|0--------|5-5-5056|

E:--------|3-------|-------|---------|--------|

Ending (Slap your mammy)

G:--------|--------|--------|--------|

D:--------|--------|--------|--------|

A:5-55-555|3-33-333|5-55-555|5-55-555| or sometimes...

E:--------|--------|--------|--------|

G:--------|--------|--------|77777777|

D:--------|--------|--------|--------|

A:5-------|3-------|5-5-5-5-|--------|

E:--------|--------|--------|--------|
