Drinking And Driving Black Flag
There are a lot of tabs for this song but many are incorrect. The track time at each
is listed at each section heading.

*Ginn plays a pentatonic riff in G here and Dez Cadena keeps playing rithym riff from
chorus; I usually improvise Ginn's part when I play -and he likely does too- it but I've
it pretty close to what it is on the CD. The last part with the pull-offs is also
and it is done a few times more than what I've written.
Prechorus (0:28)
Played three times:
-------------------------------| -------------------------------| -----------2-1-----------------| --2--2-2-2-----2-1-0-----------| ---------------------4--4-4----| -------------------------------|
(0:36)
The fourth time is a variation of the other three (played three times):
----------------------------------------------------| ----------------------------------------------------| -----------2-1--------2-1-------2-1-----------------| --2--2-2-2-----2-1--------1-0-------0-4--4-4-4------| ----------------------------------------------------| ----------------------------------------------------|
The last four notes from the above section are not played on the third time and the song
directly into the chorus again. Then comes another verse with a differing lead riff:
Verse (0:15)

Ginn starts with some of those bizarre sounds -his trademark- before going into the full
I've tabbed there. That's essentially the whole song other than the solo, which I will
in a separate file. Email me with any questions.
