House Of Pain Tab by Faster Pussycat

House Of Pain tab by Faster Pussycat

Guitar Tab

Hope this proves of some use to you. It may be a bit difficult to follow, in
which case I apologise in advance, but it shouldn't be too bad. I'm new at
TABbing stuff and it's more difficult than it looks!! If you know the song well
enough then you should be able to follow the tab as you listen to it and figure
it out from there. The fundamentals are there though and it shouldn't take too
much work on your part to figure it out.

Faster Pussycat
House of Pain
:From the album Wake me When it's Over.

This is the intro and is played for the first four bars before going on to fig.2
