Mustard Plug - Mr. Smiley tabbed by PJ All the chords in the song are skanky, thats the same as syncopated, I = think :P I think www.guitarfret.com has a very good lesson on playing ska guitar = they even have a short video showing how to do it. It's very simple once = you get it. Intro: e------------9-9~-------1010~-----77~ x2 B----77~-----1010~------1212~-----88~ G----77~---------------------------- D---------7~--------9~---------5~--- A-5~-------------------------------- D A Bm G x2 e-5---5---7---3 B-7---5---7---3 G-7---6---7---4 D-7---7---9---5 A-5---7---9---5 E-5---5---7---3 Verse: Same fingerings for the chords as in the intro D A Bm G x4 Chorus: Same chords, but ska fingerings. You could always just play the same = chords and just play the top 4 strings harder. D A Bm G e-2--5--7--3 x4 B-3--5--7--3 G-2--6--7--4 D-4--7--9--5 (optional, you don't have to play the notes on the D = string) Bridge: Bass solo for 4 bars then G-7~--6~--7~--4~--2~----- (this is played w/ horns) D---------------------2-0~ and D A Bm G w/ horn solo on top for 8 bars End: in the end everything stops and the bass plays D-0-0-54~ Intro Verse #1 Chorus Bridge Verse #2 Chorus x2 End
