THE DEAD MILKMEN I'm Flying Away from Stoney's Extra Stout (Pig) Tabbed by: Ben Gladdle (moose9377@hotmail.com) Really pretty easy, but sounds quite nice. Just play bar chords and use that ska kind of rhythm that the Milkmen use fairly often: play on the off beats... ie. if you count 1 & 2 & 3 & 4 & etc., play the chord on an upstroke on each of the & beats. That was hard to explain in words :P, just listen and you'll get it. Chords: ------ I hope you know all these chords (if not, learn them!) but I've put them here, because it's important you play the right bar chords.
