Holding My Own Tab by The Darkness

Holding My Own tab by The Darkness

Guitar Tab

This is the last track off the class album ^ÓPermission To Land^Ô by
The Darkness. Who rock. The whole song is tabbed, hate getting TABs
off the net that are only the chorus or the riff. This works best
with two guitars. Listen out for the timing because it isn't accurate
here. The TAB itself is pretty close, I^Òm sure there^Òs a note wrong
or missing here and there, but is that a reason not to jump around in
a leotard in front of a Marshall stack (or 10)with a wailing Les
Pauls? Hell no.

Key:

     5h7    - Hammer-On
     5p7    - Pull-Off
    7^(9)   - Bend Note To Indicated Pitch (In Brackets)
   (9)^7    - Prebend To Pitch And Release
5^(7)^(5)p3 - Bend Note, Release To Original Pitch And Pull-Off
   / Or \   - Slide Up Or Down
     ~~~    - Vibrato
