I figured out a way to play Jason's Head that's easier and more accurate
too. It plays only low strings, so open chords won't work. I doubt Joe is
playing open chords at all in any of the Milkmen songs anyway. So here goes:


Intro/Verse:
-----------
   G      F#       C       A
E-----------------------------------
B-----------------------------------
G------------------5-------2--------
D--5-------4-------5-------2--------
A--5-------4-------3-------0--------
E--3-------2------------------------

The strumming pattern is pretty easy, even though it's not included.

(Note: I think you could almost play just the bass note of the chord
for the intro. Then switch back to power chords as Mike suggests for the
verse.)


Chorus:
------
   G       D       C        G
E----------------------------------
B----------------------------------
G----------7-------5---------------
D--5-------7-------5--------5------
A--5-------5-------3--------5------
E--3------------------------3------

I think the strumming pattern for this one can be messed with.


Bridge:
------
   A       D       F#   G
E-----------------------------
B-----------------------------
G--2-------7------------------
D--2-------7--------4---5-----
A--0-------5--------4---5-----
E-------------------2---3-----

   A       D       F#   A
E-----------------------------
B-----------------------------
G--2-------7------------2-----
D--2-------7--------4---2-----
A--0-------5--------4---0-----
E-------------------2---------

Hope you find that easier, especially with the solo.
