This is one of my favorite Nofx songs the speed on eric melvins solo 
is impressive but if you work on picking the individual notes you can 
match it. obviously no one is going to pick up their guitar and play 
it straight through the first time, but i hope my tab is good enough
that you can at least follow:) check out my other tabs too :)
good luck,

Lyrics:

Nothin... nothin....

Looking back to the past,
predictions of the end
Unseen ultra violet rays
that are beating on my head
Nuclear threat,
wanna bet, 
will be our demise?
The day will come when we'll look to apocalyptic skies

When the news had spread, 
that soon we'd all be dead
Well it just blew our minds
No one could have guessed 
our worst fears at best
Figments of our time.... time!

So it seems 
that our dreams 
will never come to be
How could such a stupid thing destroy humanity?
A few weeks till extinction 
and there's nothing we can do
A message sent to other worlds will say, "It was just the flu"

There's no lesson to be learned
There's no one left to learn it...
