Song: The Hell Song
Artist: Sum 41
Album: Does This Look Infected?
Tabbed by: John McElyea
This took me forever to tab, and it shows. This tab is 100% perfect, no doubts. Don’t believe
me? Look at this tab and listen to the song at the same time. You will hear it. During the
periods where the rhythm pattern is different in order to fit all of the notes, the rhythm
is counted out below those sections.
Notes:
r = don’t play until the next note (rest)
/ = slide (either up or down)
p = pull-off
h = hammer-on
~ = let ring
x = left-hand muted note
(N.C.) = No Chord
when a measure starts and there is no rest (r) sign, its probably because the first note
of that measure is tied to the last note of the previous measure.

When you get tired of holding the G# out, the song is over!! This is a truly awesum song,
and this tab is absolutely perfect. As a final touch, here are the lyrics (also correct).
Lyrics:
Ev’ry body’s got their problems (problems).
Ev’ry body says the same thing to you.
It’s just a matter how you solve them (solve them).
And knowing how to change the things you’ve been through
I feel I’ve come to realize, how fast life can be compromised.
Step back to see what’s goin on. I can’t believe this happened to
you__________ This happened to
you__________
It’s just a problem that we’re faced with.
Am I not the only one who hates to stand by.
Complications ended first in this line.
With all these pictures running through my mind.
Knowing endless consequences. I feel so useless in this.
Get back, step back and as for me, I can’t believe.
Part of me won’t agree
‘cause I don’t know if its for sure.
Suddenly, suddenly,
I don’t feel so insecure.
Part of me won’t agree
‘cause I don’t know if its for sure.
Suddenly, suddenly,
I don’t feel so insecure.
anymore__________
Suck! [solo]
Ev’ry body’s got their problems (problems).
Ev’ry body says the same thing to you.
It’s just a matter how you solve them (solve them).
A, what else are we s’posed to do?__________
Part of me won’t agree
‘cause I don’t know if its for sure.
Suddenly, suddenly,
I don’t feel so insecure.
Part of me won’t agree
‘cause I don’t know if its for sure.
