Permanent Holiday

Song

Permanent Holiday

By The Suicide Machines

Tabbed by SuMa

Note: For this song, if you have a 5-way pickup switch, use bridge & middle pickups

(if you have a 3-way, use bridge) w/ tone knob at 10

Have your amp at gain=3.5, treble=8, middle=8, bass=10, presence=10

Standard tuning (eBGDAE)

Oh yeah, I almost forgot: THIS TAB IS 100% ACCURATE, SO TAKE THAT! I am the biggest

Suicide Machines fan in existence, so I’ve played this to the cd SEVERAL HUNDRED times

to make sure it was right. One more thing: if you are just a beginner and want an easier

way to play it, have your guitar in Drop-D (eBGDAD) and just add 2 frets to what I put

for the E string

/ = slide up

\ = slide down

* = palm mute

x = regular mute
