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

Artist: MISFITS

Album: LEGACY OF BRUTALITY

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

Transcribed by Emil Ortenmark, kfemil@telia.com

Standard tuning

Comments: Three chord rockabilly punk from the Misfits greatest

album. The half-step hammer-ons to E are varied a little during

the song. Listen to find out where. I don't have the lyrics to

this song and I won't even try to figure it out from the album

so you'll have to manage without them.

Key:

/ = slide up

\ = slide down

b = bend (whole step)

b^ = bend (1/2 step)

b^^ = bend (1 1/2 steps)

pb = pre-bend

r = release-bend

t = tap with righthand finger

h = hammer-on

p = pull-off

~ = Vibrato

* = Natural Harmonic

#(#) = Trill

x = Dead notes (no pitch)

P.M. = Palm mute (- -> underneath indicates which notes)

Tp = Tap w\plectrum
