"Surfin' Cow" (100% Correct!)
The Dead Milkmen
Tabbed by: Davey
The other tabs on this site (and internet in general) are COMPLETELY wrong. I even saw
a tab that was supposedly written by Joe Jack himself which wasn't even correct. It's
gonna be hard to do this but I wanna give myself a challenge.
99% by ear with a little help of the tab on www.geocities.com/dmtabs
