257
As Appearing on the album WHITE HOUSE
Written By Brent Babb, Steve Larson, Curtis Grippe, Brian Griffith
Transcription by Mark Ord (ord@alphalink.com.au)
NOTES: * As best as I can tell, 257 is capo-ed at the 2nd fret.
Otherwise, I have no idea how it'd be possible to play Rhy. Fig. 1
confortably.
Note that chords are denotes the actual chords, not chord
shapes in relation to the capo. IE: F#
represents F#. If / when playing with a capo, obviously use an
'E' chord for F# (given the capo on the second fret).
* Rhy. Fig. 1 is actually a little longer than actually tabbed
(just repeated). Hence, it's not specified in the transciption
how many times to play it - it's obvious listening to the song
however.

Mosquito signal in my ears
