Only God Knows Why tab by Kid Rock

Song:     Only God Knows Why

Artist:   Kid Rock

Album:    Devil W/O a Cause

Transcribed by:  Bert Rodriguez



After searching around on the net 1/2 an hour for the solo, I gave up and

decided to figure out myself and submit it to make it easier for all you

other bastards.



The only difference with my version is I play the chords with the bottom

two strings open.  It makes it easier to play and sounds a lot nicer, too.

*Check out the bottom to see what I'm talking about.*
