This is a great song to play. Josh has an amazing style of guitar playing. To get
the true feel, listen to the song (if you don't own the CD: Songs for the Deaf; buy it!). There is palm mute throughout various parts of the song and it isn't notated in this tab. Just bang on the strings and don't worry about your guitar going out of tune during the song, this is a major aspect of Josh's technique, sloppy yet godlike! I include some of the major bass riffs also, just for the fun of it. Thanks alot and I hope I'll be posting more QOTSA tablature 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 QUEENS OF THE STONE AGE 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.
