Song For The Deaf tab by Queens Of The Stone Age

Artist: Queens of the stone age (Qotsa)

Song: A song for the deaf
Album: Songs for the deaf
Tabbed: Tom Thorpe

I tabbed the entire song by myself and there are two guitars i think.

its starts with a bass then the guitars come in. ive ritten a bass
document if u want it.

i suggest than guitar one sings as its easier to keep in time.

ill dive u a key: +=muted
   p=pull off
   h=hamer on
   s= slide
   v=vibrato
