ARTIST: Engerica
TITLE: Roadkill
ALBUM: There Are No Happy Endings
TABBED BY: kryptonite22
TUNING: drop D
There's another tab of this song on here that's actually very good but misses out a
of subtle notes (particularly in the intro/main riff) and gets a couple of chord changes
so this version just adds to the good foundations laid down by Michael_D in the first tab
and hopefully improves upon it
INTRO (minimal distortion)

Play same again but with tons of distortion
Verse is played mainly by bass (the 5s are played clean and faded in the background, but
add the 8s after every line of vocals)

Then play the main/intro RIFF
The next verse is played by bass apart from the 8s at the end, as before.
CHORUS again
"Shake your finger" part - the 3 is basically achieved by holding your finger gently
that D string, and the rest of the strings you're just sort of scratching
