Buzzbomb by the Dead Kennedys
from the album "Plastic Surgery Disasters"

Most of the guitar parts in this song are a guitar figure that Ray
moves up and down as the chord changes. The figure looks like this
in G:

Just move that up and down the neck as the chord changes.
Some of the other chords, mainly in the "chorusy" section
("Plow through rest area...") are just barre chords.
