All right, this is the standard tuning version for those of you, like me, want to play this wicked song, but
dont want to tune your guitar. Queens of the stone age usually play 2 steps down. Im going to slowly work
through the song, check back for changes. Remember some chords are an octave higher so it wont sound 
perfect. Also, most of the song is played on a 12 string.

H= Hammer on
P= Pull off

For the outro just play the intro/verse!

And thats all folks. There piano and other instruments that play through out the song, most of times the
guitar doesnt play. Have fun and I would appreciate rating, to let me know how I am doing.
