I am searching for a tab for the song Baja...which I understand is by the Astronauts although I have heard the Surfari's cover it recently!

It's also covered by the Ventures. I only have a few minutes right now, but I can get you started. My version has a slight PJ twist.

The intro is sort of a E power chord:

e---  
b---  
g---  
d--9  
a--7  
e---

You can get the rhythm for the recording.

Then after about a measure of that there is kind of a "sprong" sound make my upstroking an E chord at the 9th fret.

e---  
b--9  
g--9  
d--9  
a--7  
e--7

The basic melody played over E and D chords is:

e----------------------------------------------------------------------------=-  
b-----------7-9-----7-7-7-7-9-10-7---9-9-9-9-10-12-9----10--------------  
g-9-9-9-9-------9-------------------------------------------------11-11-----  
d-------------------------------------------------------------------------------  
a-------------------------------------------------------------------------------  
e-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

my PJ twist:

e--9-10-9 (hammer on pull off) -------------------------------------------  
b-------------------------------------11-13-11 (slide up  and down)--9---  
g-----------------------------------------------------------------------------9  
d-------------------------------------------------------------------------------  
a-------------------------------------------------------------------------------  
e-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Another PJ touch:

e------------------------------------------------  
b--7- 7 times 8th time slide it up 2 frets---  
g--7---------------------------------------------  
d--7---------------------------------------------  
a--5---------------------------------------------  
e------------------------------------------------

followed by:

code]
e-----------------
b--7- 4 times
g--7-------------
d--7-------------
a--5-------------
e-----------------7-5-7

I don't have time to tab out the bridge right now, maybe tomorrow if you want it, but it's played over these chords: G D C D - G D C D E You might be able to figure it out from the chords before I get back to you.

Had a change of plans, so here is the basic Baja bridge pretty much like I play it:

  G                                   D             C               D       
e---3-5-7-5-(hammer-on-pull-off) -----5----------5--3-----------3-------  
b-3--------------------------------8--7--7----7-----5--5----5-------7--  
g-4-----------------------------------7-----7-------5-----5---------7--  
d-5-----------------------------------7-------------5---------------7--  
a-----------------------------------------------------------------------  
e-----------------------------------------------------------------------

  G                                   D             C               D       
e-3---5-7-5-(hammer-on-pull-off) -----5----------5--3-----------3-------  
b-3-3------------------------------8--7--7----7-----5--5----5-------7--  
g-4-----------------------------------7-----7-------5-----5---------7--  
d-5-----------------------------------7-------------5---------------7--  
a-----------------------------------------------------------------------  
e-----------------------------------------------------------------------

                                   E                    D                    E  
e---------------------------------------------------------------------------------  
b-7--(pulloff)--5-----7-(slide up)-9---9--(slide down)--7--------------------9  
g-7-------------5-----7------------9---9----------------7--------------------9--  
d-------------------7-----------------------------------------7 (slide up) --9--  
a---------------------------------------------------------------------------------  
e---------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I hope this came out ok, I had to tweak the code a lot to make it look right in the Preview.
