Printer friendly version :: Total views: 99
this is a great song on Lullabies to Paralyze. there's another version of this song on
this site that i did but it sucks, so here's the better tab. this is lyrically the best
song QOTSA has ever done in my opinion

tuning:
Eb,Ab,Db,Gb,Bb,eb

Intro solo (light distortion, low tone and reverb)
