Queens of The Stone Age

Queens of The Stone Age - Fun Machine Took A Shit Died guitar tab

This is a rare Queen's song. It's really good. The tuning is rather important to playing

the song correct. This is the version on the vinyl, not on "Over the Years...", which is

more complicated and a little better, but i figure more people will hear the actual

recording; assuming it comes out. anyway...

The Fun Machine Took a Shit and Died

Tuning:

E-G-D-G-B-e

Keyboard intro (for guitar)

i love this band. who else would work Robert Mitchum into their lyrics? this may be

missing a thing or two (not much, however, this took for fucking ever), but the

recording is really muffled and muddy, but it's pretty accurate. enjoy!
