Tuning: Standard

The Dead Kennedys cover of this song is very different from the other covers/versions of
this song in both lyrics and chord progression, so hopefully I figured out the way
musically that the DK's did it (there is a lot of echo/reverb effect used that obscures 
the sound slightly).
