Song: "Weak and Powerless" Artist: A Perfect Circle (Jeordie White/Bass) Album: Thirteenth Step Tabbed by: Phillip Adrian Trujeque, The Low-Man for Guttwrench http://www.Guttwrench.com Any comments, questions, jokes, threats, suggestions, Recipes, Corrections, thoughts or concerns... Please feel free to email me: [email protected] **Note** There are several licks in this song that I can't quite make-out at the moment considering I have no bass in hand. I suggest you clean out them ears and do your homework!!!
