Ima Robot - Alive guitar tab
Ima Robot
Alive
Tabbed By Dylan Loch
This song is in the key of A and starts off
just repeatedly strumming an A5 chord

|---7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-|
|---5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-| and so on
Then somewhere in the verse he switches to an E5 chord when he says
D-R-U-G-S leave no one alive and then goes to a D5 before going back to A
