Sick Puppies Chords & Tabs

Version: 3 Type: Bass Tab

Howards Tale Bass Tab

I'm pretty sure this is how the song goes, so try it out
and see what you think. Like most Sick Puppies' songs,
this is in Drop C. Emma gets an egdy sound by using a pick,
but whether you use one or not is up to you.

To learn this song you must know how to:
S-Slap
P-Pop
h-Hammer on
~-Let ring
\or/-Slide up or down
