The Waydown
Dirty Fingernails
Sunspots in the House of the Late Scapegoat
Summer
Karma's Payment

I have tabbed out the few non-backwards songs beneath this writing.
This is definatley a weaker tab (Only 5 guitar songs), as this album
was cut in just a few days, and from the sounds of it, alot was
improvised.As a result, there are small variations here and there I
have not tabbed because I think anyone of you can figure them out on
your own (They're just alterations on notes already tabbed).

this song means a lot to me, maybe it's not the intentional meaning or anything, but i've got a place for it set aside in my mind. i've had many good memories with all of isaac's lyrics. many in the car, many on the dirt roads, many on the wrong hand lane. i don't think i will ever forget screaming along drunkenly to this song at 4 in morning. i grew up with this shit. & i love every peice of it & i love how i can relate to the music to my own personal opinions & my own lifestyle & my own memories. WELL WELL WELL. DO YOU UNDERSTAND?
