Whatever It Takes
Green Light Yellow Light Stop Light

My favorite song by them.  Guitar 1 is rythm and i wrote that tab out first.  Guitar 2 
at the bottom and is lead.  I wrote the lyrics in for a couple parts that will be useful 
timing.  One of the chords on the harmony part is --6x6- and it may look weird but it is right.
