As always, corrections are welcome. Longer looking bars have
two-digit frets but are (probably) of same length as the rest.
Just listen to the record if you're not certain about the rhythm.

About this song

"Moon Over Marin" by Dead Kennedys features Jello Biafra's biting vocals over East Bay Ray's surf-influenced guitar riffs. The song's lyrics address environmental concerns, a departure from the band's usual political satire. Klaus Flouride's driving bassline and D.H. Peligro's energetic drumming create a sense of urgency throughout the track. The use of reverb and tremolo effects on the guitar adds to the song's atmospheric quality.
