The Things You Do tab by Zakk Wylde

"THE THINGS YOU DO"
written by ZAKK WYLDE
published 1996 by Bellbottoms&Beer Music (BMI)
as performed on the album "BOOK OF SHADOWS" (GEFFEN-RECORDS)

transcribed by Anand Kumar (st001904@hrz1.hrz.th-darmstadt.de;
halfindy@aol.com) using ears, guitar and CD.
Thanks for the feedback on "Road Back Home", I tried to be more accurate
this time, but that meant makin' more errors, too.
1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + are the eights, dudududu are the sixteenths, ^ hammer on or
pull off, sl(ide), p(alm).m(ute)., that's it.
Zakk seems to play it differently (low E tuned to D?). Regard this TAB as a
version that works fine with the song. Anyway some of the stuff I transcribed
may really be right. I just hope it helps someone.

Intro goes something like this...
