Monkey Trick by Jesus Lizard ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Monkey Trick - The Jesus Lizard ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Tabbed by: Jon Tuning: Standard This is easily one of the best songs ever. I'm not sure about all of these notes, Duane doesn't exactly play guitar in a traditional manner. Also, some of them are sort of hidden in mix. But for the most part this tab is accurate. If a note looks like this (9) that means that it might be there and it might not, I can't tell.
