"Hellbound" by The Living End
Tabbed by blamft (blamft@hotmail.com)
I've had this tab kicking around for a few years now, it was the first Hellbound tab in existence for
Then TLE got famous and suddenly everyone was tabbing their songs. But I'm not bitter or anything. Mick
actually used some of this tab in his version (including the solo), but i still think this is the better tab.
Enjoy.

aw hell, you figure out the rest of this. i'm bored.
Finish with verse riffs, then chorus riffs, then a slowed down Verse Riff 1, followed by an upstroked open
chord, and then just the open E(low) string.
