Song: School of Hard Knocks
Band: P.O.D.
Album: 'Little Nicky' Sound Track
Tabbed by: Alejandro D'Brot
alexd@terra.com
b= bend to indicated note
r= release to original note or
.= natural harmonic
x= muted note or chord
Tuning: Standard D - DGCFAd
NOTE: Although this tab is very similar to szkieletor's live version, it is completely my work.
It's in the same format as my last tab, just with the right tunning. I think both of us based
it on a live P.O.D. video and got a similar result, but there were a number of differences, so
I'm posting it anyway :p.
Anyway... leave out the first part of the song like P.O.D. does live.
