Better Living Through Chemistry by Queens Of The Stone Age Author/Artist: Queens Of The Stone Age Title: Better Living Through Chemistry Album: Rated R Transcribed by: Martin Kelly Email: eternal_hour@hotmail.com This is great song. It's really atmospheric, but has lightning fast guitar parts to it, and a smooth tom-tom intro or something. It's a pretty fast guitar piece, but when you get it, it's nice and satisfying. My tab is NOT complete, so if you can fill it in, please do so. Standard Tuning.
