  @Song: Number One Hit Song

  Written by D. Boon

  Recorded by Minutemen on album "Double Nickles on the Dime" (SST)

  File format: tab

  Transcription: Gary Von Colln

  

  This song is based on a two chord progression: A7 - D/D9.  During the

  singing, D. Boon plays some individual notes from the A7 and D9

  chords.

  

  The solo (not tabbed here) uses A pentatonic minor, I think.
