*LYRICS*

  If I had a  perfect day, 
  I would have it start this way, 
  Open up the fridge and have a tall boy,
  Yeah. 

  Then I'd meet up with my friends, 
  Head out to the game again, 
  We don't even really care who wins,
  Hey! Wins! Hey! 1, 2, 3... 

  Now excitement seems to grow,  
  When we're hangin' with the bro's, 
  When we're chillin' and we pound a case of Stroh's.
  Now the game is cool to see, 
  You can &quot;High 5&quot; on TV, 
  Count the riot on the one, two, three. 
  Operation is in sight, 
  And the field is open wide, 
  When you break it then you know you're still alive. 
  If the cops don't make you pay, 
  And you make your getaway, 
  Then you know, 
  That's one fine day.
  Hey! 

  On that day before we're through, 
  We could torch a car or two, 
  Then have ourselves another tall boy, 
  Yeah.
  
  Water hoses and batons, 
  That's the real game that's on, 
  I don't really give a shit who wins,
  Hey! Wins! Hey! 1, 2, 3... 
  
  I believe it's my god—given right,  
  To destroy everything in my sight, 
  Cause it never gets dull, it never gets old, 
  The only thing it gets is more bold.
  Drinkin', Fightin', goin to the game,
  In our world it's a way to stay sane,
  If your asking me,
  To have it my way, I'd say that's,
  One fine day.

How to Read Bass Tabs

Bass tablature (tabs) is an easy way to learn songs without needing to read traditional sheet music. Here’s a quick guide to understanding the symbols and techniques commonly found in tabs:

1. The Basics

Strings and Frets:
Each line in a tab represents a string on your bass:
- The top line is the highest-pitched string (G on a 4-string bass).
- The bottom line is the lowest-pitched string (E on a 4-string bass).
Numbers on the lines indicate which fret to press. For example:
```
G|-------------------|

D|-------------------|

A|---3---------------|

E|-------------------|

            
```
This means you play the 3rd fret on the A string.

2. Common Techniques

Hammer-On (h):
Play the first note by picking it, then press down on a higher fret with another finger without picking again.
```
G|-------------------|

D|-------5h7---------|

            
```
Pull-Off (p):
Pluck a note and then "pull off" your finger to let a lower fret ring.
```
G|-------------------|

D|-------7p5---------|

            
```
Slide (/ or \):
Move your finger up (/) or down (\) the fretboard while maintaining pressure.
```
G|-------------------|

D|-------5/7---------|

            
```

3. Advanced Techniques

Bend (b): Push the string up or down to raise the pitch. Example: G|-------7b9---------|
Vibrato (~): Shake the string slightly after playing a note to create a vibrating sound. Example: G|-------7~----------|
Muted Notes (x): Rest your finger lightly on the string without pressing a fret and pluck for a percussive "click" sound.

4. Rhythm and Timing

Tabs don’t always indicate timing, so listen to the song while reading the tab. Wider spaces between numbers mean longer pauses, while closer numbers indicate quicker notes.

5. Slap and Pop

Slap (s): Strike the string with the side of your thumb for a percussive sound.
Pop (p): Pull the string away from the fretboard and let it snap back.

Practice Makes Perfect

Tabs are a great tool to learn songs, but mastering the techniques takes practice. Listen carefully to the original track and play along to lock in the rhythm. Don’t rush — smooth, accurate playing is more important than speed. Happy jamming! 🎸
