			     BANNED IN D.C — BAD BRAINS
————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————
Tabbed by: Joe Sherrin
Song: Banned In DC
Artist: Bad Brains
Album: Bad Brains
Tuning: Standard

Havent seen any guitar tabs for this, just bass tabs, so i sat down at busted one out.

— I made a little chord diagram cus he uses different E's. Also when theres a "5" next 
the chord that means its a power chord.

Also, almost every time an E5 is played, instead of just strumming it he slides from D#5 
now and then. i didnt write these D#'s in but listen to the track to see what im 
about... he does the same slidy thing on the A's in the 2nd verse.

CHORD DIAGRAM:
