Tab Discussion, Comments, and Critiques


No Picture Courtney Wanna Be	#1 by Courtney L. at Oct 3, 1972 at 9:09 PM EST
	What he's saying is "Tray!", because two syllabols simply didn't work for the chorus. My initial guess is that it's about a relationship, simply because it sounds so good after a breakup.

No Picture Max Average	#2 by Max Benton at Oct 27, 1975 at 11:18 PM EST
	Awesome song. It sounds like a lost friendship and something bad happened due to a change in beliefs

No Picture Mikel Average	#3 by Mikel A. at Apr 9, 1976 at 8:38 AM EST
	He can't possibly say betray in the chorus. I KNOW it says so, and that the song's called so, but still. I'll slow it down in my computer some day and listen, but I'm positive that he just grunts or something.

No Picture Caitlin Rhythm Player	#4 by Caitlin Carlisle at Feb 7, 1984 at 11:40 AM EST
	This one.

No Picture Justin Wanna Be	#5 by Justin Neafsey at Aug 28, 2003 at 2:24 PM EST
	yes, shadow..., go on. What song did he sing to JN?

No Picture Daniel Average	#6 by Daniel Rainbolt at Sep 10, 2003 at 10:32 PM EST
	It's about his friends who were changing and who suddenly had different priorities and ethics form him, including the other members of Minor Threat. At one of their last shows, he sang the entire song directly at Jeff Nelson.
