Better Living Through Chemistry by Queens Of The Stone Age Bass Tab Queens of the Stone Age Better Living Through Chemistry Tune to C F Bb Eb Note: There are lots of subtlties to the playing of this song. This tab isn't perfect, so mess with technique and do what sounds best. Hammer-ons and pull-offs where I have slides often work nicely.
