Then Comes Dudley Chords & Tabs
I transcribed this tab using a live video of the band playing in DC in '91.
Admittedly, I skimped a bit on tabbing every little nuance (Duane has a
tendency to change the riffs a lot throughout the song), but from what I
have here, you should be able to figure out the little changes. I'm not
100% on Riff 3 or on the Chorus, but hopefully it's correct or someone will
correct it.
Riff 1 is a doosey, and might be better played on the G and B strings, but
Duance definitely plays it on the top two strings. Riff 2 is definitely
correct, but I still haven't mastered it yet.
