Chords with lyrics
Double Blade - Wrinkle Neck Mules
Standard Tuning; no capo.
The riff is played twice at the intro and once between
the 1st and 2nd verses - the chords are given as well, so your choice.
Timing for the chords played under the solo is the same as
the "Whoo-hoo-hoo!" parts.
On the transitions from G+G to Em, I like to walk down
the low E MajorE string (G-F#-E), mimicking the bass line.
