This is NOFX's the longest line, and this version is absolutely PERFECT.  The other 
versions on the site sucked so I decided to show them how it's done.  The solo is 
absolutely perfect, but it sounds cooler if you mess around with it a little.  Lyrics 
are included to help you figure out what's what.  It's a really straight forward punk 
song.  Listen to the song to get the timings down for the solo, but this song is 
really easy.  Standard Tuning.  Someone do me a favor and tab 'Clams Have Feelings 
Too" and the solo for "Dinosaurs Will Die".  'Pump up the Valuum' rocks!  If you 
cannot figure this out, you are really dumb.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Guitar A is clean, Guitar B is distorted
For all of this song, except the solo, Guitar A
is in the right background, barely audible.

Lyrics

Verse
In the darkest tunnel it's nice
to see a light, or just a headlight
like the one that's headed right for me

It would be nice if things could turn out right
Turn out right, yeah
Don't think I'll ever see the day

Bridge
I must have
Done something wrong
I maybe pissed off God and

2nd Verse
I think of Chinese food when I think of life
it's sweet and sour
my life is sweet as succharine

You know three week old milk and grapes are not
not the same, no
I am the one Johnny Carcinogen

Bridge
I must have
***ed with some witch in turn she cursed me
cursed my life

Chorus
At the end of the longest line
that's where I will always be
if you need to find me
just go to the end of the longest line

-Solo-

3rd Verse
But Officer that was a yellow light
The light was red, son
insubordination, reckless driving

This can't be right I must be wrong
I don't belong this world is much to dangerous
for someone lacking luck, like me

Chorus
At the end of the longest line
that's where I will always be
if you need to find me
just go to the end of the longest line

Outro Chorus
At the end of the longest line
------------------------------
that's where I will always be
at the end of the longest
