Tabbed by M.Beattie (insomnious3@yahoo.co.uk)

Here's the new stormer of a single from Vex Red. I
just picked it up today
have listened to it enough to figure out about 90% of
the guitar
work. Since I haven't already found the tab, I thought
I'd do it myself.

If you have any problems, feel free to email me.
My only request is that you don't rip this off as your
own
work, apart from that, feel free to share it.

Thanks.
--------------------


Tuning : Dropped-D

For the best sound, use a Gibson Les Paul - all the
guitarists
in Vex Red play them.

The tab below is for the chords which are played, NOT
the
number of times strummed. It's easy enough to work
that out from
the song.
-------------------

Intro
*****
This distorted riff is played not only throughout the
Intro,
but also in the same fashion throughout each chorus.
It's not a vital
part, but if you have enough guitarists, then you
could add this.

same)
Verse Again
Chorus Again, twice


Middle 8
********

This bit is played after the two men arguing has
stopped, when
the singer comes back with "Think you're so good, with
your toking...."
I haven't quite figured out the part before, I'll post
it when I do.

E:---------------------------------|

G:---------------------------------|
D:-----12----/----17-\-15----------|
A:-----10----/----15-\-15----------|

Then Chorus again, four times to end.

QUIET END RIFF (clean)
