Guitar Tab for "Was It A Lie?"

Here is the Guitar Tab for "Was It A Lie?"

I noticed they are playing this song on the winter 2003 tour.  I'd never really listened to it before.  It's not a tough song, but it was hard for me to figure out (maybe I haven't really figured it out).  It's a great example of S-K song writing: the contrast of the riffs in volume, in rhythm, in harmony, the syncopation, the two guitars as a single instrument.

I notice the drums on this one more than I usually do.  They help keeps the odd rhythms together.

Riff 4 is all I need to keep my rock and roll soul happy.  If you can only learn one S-K riff, this is the one:  It rocks; it sounds great with just one guitar; it's very S-K'ish.

What to do next?   I'd like to tab all the songs they are playing on the current tour. I don't have the first S-K CD though. So I don't have "Be Yr Mama." E-mail me if you have any ideas.
