From the album "Greatest Hits 93-03" on Volcano Records

This is my first tab so I hope it is alright.  I tabbed this from a video clip of 311 playing 
the song live on Jimmy Kimmel’s show.  This is how Tim plays the song on the clip which 
seems a bit different from the cd.  It may not be perfect but I haven’t seen any other 
tabs of this song anywhere, so at least it is a start.

I think that is about it.  Hopefully it makes sense.  Like I said it may not be perfect and 
it is how they play is live which is slightly different from the cd, but it is a start. Thanks!
