************************************************
It took me forever to figure this out. Well,
not really but it sure felt like it. Email me
any comments. Also if you're a Kyuss fan, I
haven't met many

************************************************
Note
*On the repeats, Josh doesn't always play exactly the same thing,
just listen for it, it's not too tough. It's mainly on the ending riff.
*He will sometimes use wah as a filter effect. If you ever hear a live
version of any of their songs, you'll hear it more clearly.
*The sound at the beginning is flanged bass feedback

I hope to have some other tabs done soon.
This musical interpretation has been removed due to a legal threat from Moses & Singer LLP, representing the National Music Publishers' Association (NMPA) and The Music Publisher's Association of the United States (MPA).
Unfortunately, these threats are fueled by greed and being masked by a "copyright infringement." They claim tab sites are "hurting the songwriters," but it's a known fact that the publishing companies garner most of the revenue. Instead, they would prefer you to purchase the official KYUSS tablature which is an option we've always given our users. And due to the highly error-prone nature of tabs on the internet, many choose to go this route. These companies also do not realize that tablature sites help to promote their artists.
For more information on this onslaught, you can read the NY Times Article. We hope one of the larger tablature sites will have the money to fight this. Until then, we urge you all to keep tabbing songs and sharing them in any way you can.
