Dr Seuss Is Dead Tab

by Acid Bath


"Dr. Seuss is Dead" by Acid Bath
From the album When the Kite String Pops

This tab is MY INTERPERTATION of the song and created as accurate
as possible. I did this for educational & entertainment purposes.
I couldn't find any good tabs for this song on the net, so I
decided to type one out. I do not make tabs on a regular basis,
so please forgive any errors or mistakes. I did the best I could.
This tab is the most accurate you'll find. If you see any errors
the * to i]. Also feel free to distrube the tab on any site as
long as it is for educational purposes and NOT FOR SALE. - John H
