----------------------------------------------

5-String bass in standard tuning. Although the 5th string is redundant on

this track I've left it in just for consistency with my other tabs. This

track has that very blues style rhythm that Kyuss use in so many of their

tracks. Just play along with the cd and it flows very easily.

|NOTE: t-t-t's denote triplet notes|

Chorus riff:

This bit I'm not too sure

about but it sounds alright

t-t-t t-t-t

Plat the intro riff once to finish the chorus. Also, the chorus never repeats

itself twice in a row.

Outro:

-|-----------------------------|-

-|.---------------------------.|-

-|.---------------------------.|-

-|--1--1-1-4--4-3--3--3/7-6-7--|-

Just repeat the outro untill the end of the song. It's more interesting to play

than the other Kyuss tracks I've posted so far but is still a classic

example of how a simple song can still blow your socks off.
