Bag Of Bones - Tumbleweed Wanderers
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Tabbed by: SirRotenous
CAPO 4
This tab/chords is based off of the video of the Tumbleweed Wanderers Gondola Sessions performance,
and it is not an exact representation. Check out the video to get the rhythm and feel
of the song, and check out the band too! Apologies if I got some of the lyrics wrong.
The riff is played using an up/down picking style, the down picks are denoted with a "d" above
the note, and the up picks are denoted with a "u" above the note. This really helps to play the
riff at the speed that he does and with fluidity. I highly reccomend watching the video to get it right.
