This is a good one off the Welcome to the Cruel World album. It is played slowly and in standard tuning. If you listen to the song, you will notice he plays will slaps/mutes (whatever you call it), which I didn't write in, but occur in the obvious places. -*- h=hammer -*- p=pull off -*- -*- = knock on body of guitar -*- -*- (intro) E---------------------------------------------------------*-*-----| B--0h1---1------0--0----0h1p0-----------0h1---1-----3-----*-*-----| G--0-----2------0--0---2-----2----------0-----2----0------*-*-----| D--2-----3------------2-------2---------2-----3---0-------*-*-----| A---------------------------------------------------------*-*-----| E------------3-----------------------------------3--------*-*-----| (verse) E-----------------------------------------------------------------| B--0----0h1------------1---------0--0-----------0h1p0-------------| G--0----0--------------2---------0--0----------2-----2------------| D--0----2--------------3----------------------2-------2-----------| A-----------------------------------------------------------------| E--^----^--------------^------3--^------------^-------------------| not talkin' about a year, no not three or four . . .

There are slight variations throughout the song, but stays the same for the most part. Didn't have time for the lyrics, but I think they're in the album cover. Enjoy.
