Song: Backstrokin'
--------------------
Ok all you puss-sucking muthafuckers out there...
This is for all you other bungleheads who want to know how to play the best
music this side of Neptune. This song is always a pleasant way to empty my
bowels, I hope they clean yours out too.
Here is BACKSTROKIN'
(Synth sounds at start)

D-----------------|--------1---|----------1---|----|
A-------------4---|----2-------|----2---2-----|4---|
E-2---2-5---5-----|4-----------|4-------------|----|
(This bit sounds more like a synth bass or something, but it's still bass...)

G-------------|--
D-------------|--
A---X-4-5-4---|--
E-------------|1-
(Play this bit 4 times)
(then repeat back to start of synth bass)
(ends with more crappy synth sounds)
Obviously this was a simple one but hopefully I'll be able to work out some
more difficult ones later.
