This song, IMHO is one of the best from the album. Of course, most of it is power chords and really simple to play, but how else can budding young musicians learn to play? Besides, I haven't seen this at ftp.nevada.edu, so I figured what the hey. Hope you enjoy, notation: / slide up (first note picked) \ slide down g grace note. Held for a split second, is not counted in the timing. (crappy explanation, I know, but I haven't taken music lessons in about five years) h hammer on (first note picked) p pull off (first note picked) t tap (don't pick it, just tap the string real hard) regular tuning 1: intro and rhythm section E|--------------------------------|------------------------------------ B|--------------------------------|-----------2g/3\2------------2g/3\2- G|---------------5-5-5--2---------|-4-4-4-4-4-2g/3\2--4-4-4-4-4-2g/3\2- D|-2-2-2--5-5-5--3-3-3--2---------|-4-4-4-4-4-1g/2\1--4-4-4-4-4-1g/2\1- A|-2-2-2--5-5-5--3-3-3--0---------|-2-2-2-2-2---------2-2-2-2-2-------- E|-0-0-0--3-3-3-------------------|------------------------------------ 2: chorus ("Win the battle lose the war...")
