Tuning:
This is done by ear, so apologies if not 100% accurate. Sounds ok to me though.....
Just a note , on the chorus, the notes on the riff coincide with the lyrics, so play
that note on that lyric, just to make it a bit easier for coordination.
Any improvements, let me know thelibertine1986@hotmail.co.uk

CRest your weary head and lover bury me

Verse 2 (Palm muting)
For Gtwenty nine years we loved that line
And CI would take it easy if I had your mind
But GI'm a cannonball to a house on fire
(no chord here)
And you're slow like Motown soul
(Then second guitar plays the riff below palm muted, rhythm no longer palm muted)
So wGhat man wouldn't love her with her long black hair?
