Blood Is Love

Queens Of The Stone Age

Text File

this is a great song on Lullabies to Paralyze. there's another version of this song on this site that i did but it sucks, so here's the better tab. this is lyrically the best song QOTSA has ever done in my opinion tuning: Standard E,A,D,G,B,e Intro solo (light distortion, low tone and reverb) |-10-12-13-12--10-12--10-12-13-15~--9-9--| |----------------------------------------|
