/ Dead Kennedys / Frankenchrist (1985) / At My Job guitar tab

AT MY JOB, Dead Kennedys. Written by East Bay Ray.
Tabbed by Jake Strange (aka: scumfuc) for guitar.
I've covered this song before & it sounds good. I know
of no one or nowhere else who has tab for this, so I'll
attempt to submit it here & hope someone finds it usefull.
