There's Something On My Side
DOWN
Off the album II
Transcribed and tabbed by Matthew Writt

This is one of the best CDs I own. DOWN is an incredible band.

A few notes on playing style for this song. B/c of the heavy Black Sabbath influence, they use a lot of flatted 5th intervals and heavy vibrato on held notes. There are lots of little nuances like bends and slides that may take time to perfect.  Some of the chord bends are a little tricky.

I only tabbed what I absolutely had to. I've left out strings that are unused in each particular riff. I also didn't tab stuff that's obvious (i.e.: part of a riff that's repeated before a change).
