Strumming
Tuning: E A D G B E
Play the first set of the guitar only intro riff for a count of 7 on Gm and 1 on Bb before returning to Gm
immediately. Play short-form inversions (Gm = x5533x Bb = xx333x) to get the sound close to the track guitar
section, but whole chords will work just as well. Keep in mind this is a chord version of the song, which
doesn't cover the intricacies of the actual playing.
Transcribing the verses was simply just too complicated to write in chords, so I will describe it this way:
Rhythmically alternate in a way similar to the electric only intro, by playing the Gm bar chord (355333),
repeatedly lifting the 3rd and 4th fingers off the strings to play what can be described as a Gm/F chord,
which would look like x3333x.

[Verse]
GmI can't eat, I can't sleep
I can't live, I can't cry
I can't die, I can't walk
I can't talk, I can booze
I can booze and steal your shoes
So I can move, tumble in the rough
Tumble in the rough, tumble in the rough
[Pre-Chorus 1]

Tumble in the rough, tumble in the rough
