Whatever It Takes by The Nightwatchman

Tabs

Title: Whatever it takes
Artist: Tom Morello as The Nightwatchman
Album: The Fabled City

Tuning: 1/2 step down (Chord diagramEb MajorEb Chord diagramAbAb Chord diagramDbDb Chord diagramGbGb Chord diagramBb majorBb Chord diagramEb MajorEb)

I don't know how Tom plays it but i think with 1/2-step-down-tuning it's very easy.
I'm not happy about the solo ...maybe someone can tab this better ...
Have fun!
