Queens Of The Stone Age Chords & Tabs

Version: 1 Type: Tab

Im Designer Tab

   
"I'll take you down a notch, pogo stick"

Judging from the guitar Josh Homme uses, this song is in E Standard tuning, but I did it 
C , so keep that in mind.

Guitar Tuning:
C-F-A#-D#-G-C

(*note*I'm gonna try to put each line he sings on the correct chord, but it may be a
off here and there. If it goes past the guitar tab then assume it's within the same phrase.)
