Here's some tab for Social Distortion's "Playpen" transcribed by Alex
Mc Laughlin. There are basically two rhythms and the song is all barre
chords. Remember the difference in spacing is not rhythm so don't be
playing it slow than all of a sudden quick. You'll see. Hope the
spacing is okay. Anyway here it is:
Rhythm fig. 1- AA EE CC GG
Rhythm fig. 2- A AA E EE C CC GGG
Intro
A AA E EE C CC GGG 3x
AA EE CC GG 4x
Verse:
AA EE CC GG
When the cat's away, the mice will play
AA EE CC GG AA EE CC GG
Beer and drugs and things to say to you, to you
AA EE CC GG
Lot's of girls and lots of boys
AA EE CC GG AA EE CC GG
Loud music and all the toys we need, we need
Chorus:
A AA E EE C CC GGGG
We have to go, the neighbors have complained
A AA E EE C CC GGGG
We have to go, the walls have all been stained
A AA E EE C CC GGGG
The have to know, they can't stop us now
A AA E EE C CC GGGG
They have to know, we can burn this town
AA EE CC GG Repeat 4x
Verse:
AA EE CC GG
Old men and kids on the run
AA EE CC GG AA EE CC
GG
Missing teeth and now the damage is done, it's all been done
AA EE CC GG
Losing battles losing fights,
AA EE CC GG AA
EE CC GG
The police would love to take away our rights, our rights
Chorus over again and that's it, by the way the bass is just
