queens of the stone age
if only
tabbed by Rob

the chords of the verse and chorus are power chords
that then have the 5th dropped to a fourth. (see tab).
 if you listen to the recording, you'll be able to
pick it up, and probably get the rhythm patterns, so
i'm just gonna give you the chords here:


d----11---11---10---10----8----8---------------------------------

a-----9----11----8---10----6----8---------------------------------

e-----9-----9----8----8-----6----6---------------------------------
        C#4  C#  C4   C   Bb4  Bb

the chorus is just back and fourth between the Bb and
the C#.

the solo:
the solo is the centerpiece of the song, and it sounds really great played over these chords.  it looks
menacing, but keep with it.  it's not terribly difficult.  this IS the perfect version of it.

go back and play through the chorus again, and then you come to the outro solo,
which incorporates elements of the main solo. (play those 8th fret notes quick!)

listen to the song for verse and chorus order, and listen through the solos a few times.  try to
start by playing what I've given you slowly, then speed it up until you can play it with the song.

questions, comments, and praise (there better not be any corrections!) should be sent to me
at crazykillercommie@yahoo.com.

 as always, PRACTICE MAKES PERFECT!
