Broken China Chords & Tabs
tabbed by: kazearaneta@yahoo.com
This is Dave's (lead) part from "Broken China", a b-side from their upcoming album Omni.
Personally, for me, it's one of the best b-sides I'll ever hear.
INTRO: crazy ass pitch shifting (from a Pitch Pirate)
Tap the fifth fret with your left hand
