Tsunami Bomb- Swimming Through Molasses
Tabbed by Oscar Payan

This song has a second guitar added to it. What I did for the tab on some parts, like
the intro, is combine them a bit to make the riff sound a little more like it was
just one cool guitar riff. All my tabs I write on an acoustic, but for this one
I used my electric with distortion, and distortion cuts you a lot of slack,
so it might not be perfect, but it sounds really good anyway.

After the Chorus Riff-
Riff 2 is played two times, followed by the Chorus Riff once again.
Then the Intro Riff comes up again with a little bit of a variation since the second
guitar isn’t playing, and it’s just the chords at the end of the riff.
This is the little solo (backed by Riff 1, the only change is that this time Riff 1
ends the way Riff 2 ends)- play the solo twice and end with the second ending.

After the Solo you play the Intro Riff again.
Riff 2 is played afterwards,
followed by the Chorus Riff
Riff 2 again
Then it ends in what is basically the Intro Riff, except only chords are used instead
of the picking. Like this- (repeats till the end)

After a few repeats, the little solo riff starts playing in the background. It’s basically
the same except for the last notes, no big change or anything. Have fun.
