Band: Reverend Horton Heat
Album: Smoke em if you Got em
Tuning: Standard
Back with another tab kids. This time, its the Rev.
this is a somewhat
instrumental song off of their debut album. It's the 8th track
and my favorite one off of the album. I tried to break up the
solo section in between where Jim pauses. Mr. Heath made
my job a little easier this time. Alright guys, strums
are not exact, listen for the changes.
Let's go!!
