I'm not all to familiar with Sublimes music with the exception of this song. I'm sure a lot of you out there might think that is a crime, and you might be right. I also don't post tabs all that often either. When I do, it's usually a band that I'm very much familiar with and feel confident that I know what the guitarist is doing. I'm posting this because I transcribed the entired song and feel it's a decent rendition. A few notes about the song that I picked up. The song has a very improv feel rhythm wise. Unlike other songs where the guitar parts are mostly identical if not exactly identical, the chord arppegiations in this songs aren't always exact. Sometimes it is only minute details. Other times it's more noticable. My point is that I didn't feel like working out every little detail, which is unusual for me. Just worry about getting the chords under your fingers, feel the rhythm and get the best tone you can and you ought to be fine. Appregiate and/or strum however feels right. Another thing worth noting is that there is a slow phaser on the intro. It could also be a chorusing effect.
