My Mom Still Cleans My Room

Mxpx

Tom: G

Mike plays a lot of little riffs on his bass that make MxPx bass lines
pretty
unique.  I'll tab each riff as we come to it, which means you should
read the
whole file through before trying to play it ;]
PLEASE NOTE!!! Considering how fast Mike's fingers fly,
>>>I won't put all the exact rhythms<<<, but if you listen carefully you should
be able to figure it out.

INTRO
E B Riff 1a  (play twice)
(during the intro, there's a riff at the B,
 but I can't figure it out)

E                                   B
Not always nice not always mean, my room has never been seen clean
    A
The way I feel is not always, not always how I seem
    E                                        B
The thoughts that form inside my brain don't always seem to entertain,
    A
Cuz when I tell my company they think there's something wrong with me
