This Ain't No Picnic by Minutemen

this is the introduction. you can play the first chord in the shape of the other 7#9's
"purple haze" but i like the on i wrote down better as it's slightly easier to switch to

SOLO -- i'm doing this kinda rushed, but here's the gist of the solo. i'm missing lots
notes, but basically just solo in pentatonic for awhile. if you don't know what that is
find out. :D

you can play the chords however you want though. i actually prefer to play
the Em7 as a barre chord at the 7th fret. anyways, cheers. i'll have the solo up soon.
Working on the edge, losing my self respect
For a man who presides over me
The principles of his creed
Punch in punch out, 8 hours, 5 days a week
Sweat, pain and agony, on Friday I'll get paid
This ain't no picnic
Hey mister, don't look down on me for what I believe
I got my bills and the rent, I should go pitch a tent
But our land isn't free
So I'll work my youth away in the place of a machine
I refuse to be a slave
This ain't no picnic
