This is in 6/8 time but I wrote it in 12/8 to save space.
They use two acoustic guitars on this one.
Intro/Verse:

That's pretty much the whole thing. There is a chord progression change in
the middle that I haven't figured out yet. Same with the solo. I'll post
those when I get a chance later.

Heres my Tab for "Why?". Play it fingerstyle or with a plectrum.
There are some hammer ons in the main bits as well, like 0h3 when
your going on to the C chord etc. Also, I play some of the bits,
like the F chord bit, lower than in the song. Try playing it on
DGBe strings instead of EADG if you like. Whatever sounds best to you...
( theres no timing in the tab but its easy if you play along )
Have fun! Roof with a Hole and Chemical Garden on the way...

Lake of Fire - Meat Puppets - Lyrics
Lake of Fire: Where do bad folks go when they die? They don't go to heaven where the angels fly They go to the lake of fire and fry Won't see them again 'till the fourth of July I knew a lady who came from Duluth She got bit by a dog with a rabid tooth She went to her grave just a little too soon And she flew away howling on the yellow moon Where do bad folks go when they die? They don't go to heaven where the angels fly They go down to the lake of fire and fry Won't see them again 'till the fourth of July Now the people cry and the people moan And they look for a dry place to call their home And try to find some place to rest their bones While the angels and the devils try to make them their own Where do bad folks go when they die? They don't go to heaven where the angels fly They go down to the lake of fire and fry Won't see them again 'till the fourth of July
