"h" ????


theres no such thing as an "h" string


also in the begining, on each of the first palm mutes u go:


--------------------------------


----------------------------------


----------------------------------


------------7---------------------


-5}7]---7]--7---------------------


-5}5]---5]--5---------------------


. . .





Key:


. = Palm Mute


} = switch really fast


] = stop ring and hit pick against pick guard





other then that, good tab

the fretwork is ok, its just been tabbed out 1 fret too high, i just played along and its right out
fullyinsanefullyinsaneUnknown Date
this tab is rite except the outro. most people have complained about it being in the wrong key, im guessin ur guitar is out of tune or ur not even playing a guitar. a box with strings dusnt count.
fullyinsanefullyinsaneUnknown Date
and another thing, i think WarlockEmg707 needs glasses and a new set of strings:


"first the son id in flat adn second the out tro is wrong and there is not a h string"


I think thats supposed to be the song is flat, its not, sounds fine wen i play it. Second, I dont see a h string anywhere on the tab

sk8er31191sk8er31191Unknown Date
Wow a lot of u guys r really messed. Can u not see in the begignning that his tuning says turn every string down a half step. Thats what the eb bb gb db ab and eb mean. BEcuase later on u play a open sting and a normally tuned guitar can't get that low.
flipoffdudeflipoffdudeUnknown Date
you loser its not down a half step and billie joe plays the 997 ower chords at 42 watch the video!
lilpunkdrummer20lilpunkdrummer20Unknown Date
dude your tab rocks but in the beginning theres a bunch of places where he doesnt palm mute listen to the song its pretty obvious...
sk8er31191sk8er31191Unknown Date
hey filpoffdude u retarted, the tab says tune ur guitar a half step down so a 244 would sound like a normal tuned 355. this tab says 799 in the begining and u said bily joe plays 244 well there both the same thing.
spankylanky2spankylanky2Unknown Date
great tab,the intro isnt all palm muted.


mute twice then open,do it like that until he gets to 'sumtimes i give my self the creeps'
