"Tough Guy" by the Beastie Boys off of "Ill Communication"
Transcribed by John Costa



Before we begin I would like to air a couple requests. "Been Caught Stealing"
by Jane's Addiction, "Sweet Hitchhiker" by CCR, "The Mango Song" by Phish
and the guitar parts to "Jerry was a Racecar Driver" by Primus. Now let's begin!

The intro

e------------------------
B------------------------
G-----------------3-3-3-3
D-3-3-3-3-6-6-6-6-3-3-3-3
A-3-3-3-3-6-6-6-6-1-1-1-1
E-1-1-1-1-4-4-4-4--------



Here is the main verse

e---------------------------------------------------
B---------------------------------------------------
G------------------3-3-3-3-------------------3-3-2-2
D--3-3-3-3-6-6-6-6-3-3-3-3---3-3-3-3-6-6-6-6-3-3-2-2
A--3-3-3-3-6-6-6-6-1-1-1-1---3-3-3-3-6-6-6-6-1-1-0-0
E--1-1-1-1-4-4-4-4-----------1-1-1-1-4-4-4-4--------

Play the above two times for verse

The Chorus

e----------------------------------------
B----------------------------------------
G-4-4-4-4-4-4-5-5-5-5-5-5----------------
D-4-4-4-4-4-4-5-5-5-5-5-5-6-6-6-6-6-6-6-6
A-2-2-2-2-2-2-3-3-3-3-3-3-6-6-6-6-6-6-6-6
E-------------------------4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4

And then the bridge

e------
B------
G---87
D---87
A---65
E------


The end of the song is basically the intro at a faster speed.

My tab is not based on any timing. If you listen to the song you should get the
basic idea.

Any Complaints, Thanx, and idle chatter send to John Costa at

PEACE!
