(jedirex311@earthlink.net) I am not sure if this is accurate, but it is
the general idea when they play this live. main riff (power chords): E D E D A G A G e|-------------------| B|-------------------| G|-9-7-9-7-----------| D|-9-7-9-7--7-5-7-5--| A|-7-5-7-5--7-5-7-5--| E|----------5-3-5-3--| Thats the general idea, aside from Art
screaming like crazy and lots of neck slides.That's it! Nick A. Click here to return to my Everclear
