Blink 182
"Anthem Part Two"
Transcribed by George Kemper ([email protected])
Updated August 20, 2000
Note: The controversial interlude riff can be played on bass or guitar, I have
it transcribed for guitar. If the riff is played on bass, my apologies, but I
fail to understand how that has anything to do with the accuracy of the tab.
