Tabs
"Lost in Germany" by King's X
From the Album: King's X
Written by: D. Pinnick, T. Tabor, J. Gaskill, and S. Taylor
Tab by: John Myers
Note:
1) The E MajorE string is tuned down to D MajorD
2) This song has many portions that are "muffled" (or "heavily
damped") as well as pull-offs, hammer-ons, & slides. I have
not tried to included all of those things here. If I did, I
would probably only get it wrong. Use your best judgement...
3) I have tried to show timing under each tab. If you know
the song, you probably won't need it, but I included it anyway
for the "timing" nit-pickers (of which I am a charter member)
4) If you use the tab, find it helpful, find something wrong, etc,
send an email to: [email protected] Feedback is appreciated.

Bridge (or "other part", depending on your musical knowledge & prowess)
I broke the bridge into two levels of complexity. This way, the less
dexterous guitar player can focus on the melody (bass) line before
attempting to add the "fill" notes.
Bridge: type a) this part shows just the promenant melody line)

Well... that's it.
I know that I haven't included all the pull-offs, slides, hammer-ons,
etc, but I think that the notes and timings are all fairly accurate.
Enjoy, Good Luck, & remember... Always pillage BEFORE you burn!
