Song

Stabbing Westward - SOMETIMES IT HURTS

I had to figure this song out because it kicks so much ass :)

* TUNE YOUR GUITAR DOWN 1/2 STEP

* Instructions:

- Strike the open D string (3rd from the top) then tune down your

Low E string down until they match, then Tune your guitar up from

your Low E strings 5th fret.

LEGEND:

\\^11 - bend the strings up as you slide down from the 9th fret to

- the 11th

\ - slide down to indicated frets from previous chord.

/ - slide up to indicated frets from previous chord.
