Tuning: E A D G B E

"How To Play Dead" - Sleater-Kinney Sleater-Kinney (1995) Note: I used power chords for this. The 'F# G F#' bit in the verses is played higher on the fret board (1st finger on 5th string in fret 9 for F#, in fret 10 for the G). Please comment if this is unclear or if there's a mistake! [Verse 1]
