SONG: Release the Hostages
BAND: NOFX
ALBUM: Heavy Petting Zoo (Epitaph 1996)
AUTHOR: Fat Mike
TYPED UP BY: The Jackal

Through some stroke of luck, I recently got a copy of the new NOFX album
(which won't be in stores until Jan. 30th, titled "Heavy Petting Zoo").
After sitting down with my guitar and screwing around for a while, I
managed to figure out one of the songs. Sounds good to me. Ok, here goes.

Chords used:
AA Piano Chord

A-------7-------3-------5-------2-------3--
E-------5-------1-------3-------0----------

Everything is/should be/sounds like palm muted, and the strum pattern is
traditional 4/4 up/down etc... nothing weird here.

'Cause that's not me!

Verse repeats itself instrumental, then the chorus again.

There are also some instrumental bits (including a long one at the
beginning which reminds me of "The Quass" from Punk in Drublic) but I'm
either too lazy or too dumb to tab 'em out. GET THE ALBUM WHEN IT COMES
OUT. IT ROCKS.

More coming: Ramones, Nirvana, NOFX, Operation Ivy, Ash, Exposers etc.
