----------------------------------------------
5-String bass in standard tuning. Although the 5th string is redundant on
this track I've left it in just for consistency with my other tabs. This
track has that very blues style rhythm that Kyuss use in so many of their
tracks. Just play along with the cd and it flows very easily.

Plat the intro riff once to finish the chorus. Also, the chorus never repeats
itself twice in a row.

Just repeat the outro untill the end of the song. It's more interesting to play
than the other Kyuss tracks I've posted so far but is still a classic
example of how a simple song can still blow your socks off.
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.
