Song:  Take on me
Band:  MxPx (covering A-Ha!)
Album: On the Cover
tabbed by: Chris Higgy (higgman@ac.net)
corrected by: Denton Matheis
tuning: standard E A D G

I don't know what Chris was listening to when he tabbed the first one.  It had the right 
idea as far as timing, but it was inverted and put in a different key or something.  Anyway, 
this is the song as best as I know it.  Feel free to send corrections, clarifications, 
and hate mail to: SpunkMunkeeD@hotmail.com.

note: All of these notes are below the 7th fret, so the 11s are two ones, not an eleven.

	whoever said that MxPx did not cover this is a moron cause RBF covered it...so many bands have covered this song cuase it kicks a lot of ass....the RBF version is by far the best

	wow guys... 7 posts later and someone finally recognizes the original artist.. yes, it was A-Ha .... this song was originally released in 1985 on their "Hunting High and Low" album.... know your roots.

	Um, guys. This is an A-ha cover. I'm listening to the song right now and this is the exacty song, so yes this is a cover. and A-ha origionally had this song plus they were around before MXPX. Don't believe me? Look up "Take on me" for titles (do a search) and some people write (aha cover) which it is, but this guy didn't give credit tothe guys. obviously because he didnt remember them. Think back to the 80s early 90s. im not sure when this video came out. it took place in a diner, and some womans reading a comic and theres a good looking guy in it an d he starts moving and she gets sucked into the comic and its this whole big thing. Too bad they dont play it any more. it was good.
