This is my third tab or so, and I'm incredibly bad at it. I'm sure that I'm completely
deaf and I missed most of this, but I might have gotten some of it right.
OSI's Bigger Wave is one of my favorite songs, ever. I've listened to it enough that I
sing the entire song without missing a beat, now. I am a very mediocre guitarist...
As a matter of fact, I have only been playing for about a year and a half now, but I've
my best to tab out the song. Please, don't flame too harshly. At least I tried. Which is
more than most of the people who are set to flame me have actually done.
The song may be played a half step down, or with Drop D. I haven't tried it that way
actually :P. I used plain standard with this one, but I'm clearly a weaker guitarist than
people reading this right now.

I can't figure out the solo, I'm not really very good on guitar, but I figure you can
how the riff goes with enough skill.
I believe that the chords played during the echoey "I was thinking there's a bigger
section are Am, Em, and Dm, with some improvisation.
Repeat the previous riffs, and you should be able to figure out the rest of the song.
