This is tablature — fret positions rather than chord names. Wide lines scroll sideways on their own, so the page never does.

Song

Song: Dead on You

Artist: Mark Lanegan

BPM: 94

Key: E

Tuning: Standard

This is just a few chord modifications (based on my hearing of the song). Other than some chord and a few

lyric changes this was left unchanged from the original version. The intro, outro, and fill riffs are unchanged

from version 1.

I also play it with a D7 (high e open) subbed for the D and a G6 (B and high E open) subbed for the G, but

either way sounds fine.
