SAY IT AIN'T SO
Weezer
guitar transcription by Patrick Mabry 
reprinted from Guitar School
by [email protected]

keep in mind that it is damned near impossible to get the timing right on tablature.  Hence the timing is off.  If youÕd like the lyrics, let me know.

All guitars tune down 1/2 step (low to high:  Eb, Ab, Db, Gb, Bb, Eb)

slow rock d=76
