Band: Operation Ivy Song: Hedgecore Album: '69 Newport EP (1993) Tuning: Standart E A D G B E Yeah.. that's a really skanky song with a bit of hardcore in it. The Song basically need just 3 Chords for the whole song. Well, it was a bit hard to tab the shit out 'cause there's no real recorded version of Hedgecore only live versions on several Albums like '69 Newport or Seedy (1996) So I just made the tabs for the more or less 'clean' version on the 69' Newport EP... Chords | Verse | Chorus | | | A D | e|---5---|-------------| B|---6---|-------------| G|---7---|--------7----| D|---7---|---7----7----| A|---5---|---7----5----| E|-------|---5---------| Intro - Kay, so at the beginning you play a very fast ska-rhythm for 4 times... Ska-Rhythm: muted death notes (x) are played downstroke and the chords upstroke After it you switch to the powerchords and play them 4 times too... | 4x | 4x | e|---x5x5x5x5-x5x555--|--------------------| B|---x6x6x6x6-x6x666--|--------------------| G|---x7x7x7x7-x7x777--|-----------7777777--| D|---x7x7x7x7-x7x777--|---7777777-7777777--| A|---x5x5x5x5-x5x555--|---7777777-5555555--| E|--------------------|---5555555----------| Verse - Do nothin' more than play the ska-rhythm through the whole song...

You play the three verses regular with the ska-rhytm and at the last verse ("Annihilating shrubs is what we enjoy") you stop and let the sound fade. A moment later you just play the chord three times and kick in the chorus... | Verse |annihilating shrubs is.... | e|---...x5x5~~-----555---------------------| B|---...x6x6~~-----666---------------------| G|---...x7x7~~-----777---------------------| D|---...x7x7~~-----777---------------------| A|---...x5x5~~-----555---------------------| E|-----------------------------------------| Order: Intro - Verse - Chorus - Verse - Chorus - Break - Verse - 2xChorus Yeah.. that's it! The song's just simply awesome! I hope you enjoy to play it... I just have one thing to say: Play the song hard and fast!
