Surf Song Guitar Tablature
Tabbed by: TNT55
Band: The Falling Idols
Real Song Title: UNKNOWN

Special Thanks To RUSTYJAMES

Comments:This song is the inspiration for Sublime's
hit "Falling Idols", and can be seen performed on the
movie "Sublime:Stories,Tales,Lies,and Exaggerations" by
two of the original band members.

-Also, this was tabbed by ear and is the only one on the 
net so if it sounds weird listen to the song...eventhough 
you probably cant find it.(It took us a long time to tab 
from watching the DVD)

/ = slide
h = hammer
