Song: Caution
Band: Operation Ivy
Album: Energy (1989)
Written by Jesse Michaels, Lint Armstrong, Matt Freeman and Dave Mello
Let's get one thing straight: Operation Ivy is the greatest band of all
time. Agreeing with me so far? Good! Then I'm sure you'll like this
favorite, Caution. It's not a real tough one, but fun to play.

[] [] []
Caution is a word that I can't understand.
Riff:

[] []
Caution is a word that I can't understand.
(Verse):
[] [] []
C A U T I O N, was a word I could not understand.
[] [] []
Walked the dog with a real short leash, turned around saw
[]
the dog walk me. Stainless steel and painted glass give me
[] [] []
pulse like a hammer and a mind to match. No relief, no food,
[] []
no sleep, when you're king for a day you're a whore for a
week. (Riff:) E-----------------|
B-----------------|
G-7-5-7-5---------|
D---------8-5-8-5-|
Then repeat chorus, with this riff:
E-----------------|
B-----------------|
G-------7-7-5-----|
D-8-5-8-------8-5-|
Next, play verse again, with the same riff as the last chorus. Play
chorus again after that, with the original riff. Then,
Bridge:
[][][] [][][]
I didn't get it then. I think I got it
[][][] []
now. Caution my friend, don't step in the water
[] []
'till you know you can swim.
Then repeat chorus, with palm muting after the G, and that's it! Let me
know if there's a better way to play this song, or if you have any
comments, questions, etc
