Capo: 5 Tuning: E A D G B E

Song: Weight of the Gun Band: Corb Lund and the Hurtin' Albertans Album: Things That Can't Be Undone Tabbed/Chorded By: ultimatelefty Hey guys, I don't do this very often anymore (1st year at university is keeping me pretty busy), but I've always enjoyed tabbing Corb Lund songs. I was fiddling around the one day on guitar and figured out the main riff to this one. I haven't bought the new album yet, but this song was one that grew on me after multiple listens, so I look forward to seeing what Corb has up his sleeves this time around. As always, enjoy! One note for the bridge: The G and A at the end of the bridge is played as barre chords.
