Tunning: Standard (E A D G B e)
Cage the Elephant - Aint No Rest For The Wicked

Standard Tuning

After watching various live performances and listening to the track I've worked out what
think is pretty damn close to the actual tabliture.

[Intro]
(The actual song uses a slide, but I've worked this out without a slide, so I don't know
it sounds right with one)
e|-0-3-0-5-0--0-3-0-5-0-3/5-5-5-5--0-3-0-5-0--12\--0-3-0--0-3-0-0-3-0-|
B|-0-3-0-5-0--0-3-0-5-0-3/5-5-5-5--0-3-0-5-0--12\--0-3-0--0-3-0-0-3-0-|
G|-0-3-0-5-0--0-3-0-5-0-3/5-5-5-5--0-3-0-5-0--12\--0-3-0--0-3-0-0-3-0-|
D|-0-3-0-5-0--0-3-0-5-0-3/5-5-5-5--0-3-0-5-0--12\--0-3-0--0-3-0-0-3-0-|
A|--------------------------------------------------------------------|
E|--------------------------------------------------------------------|

[Verse]
e|-----x-x-x-x-x-x-----x-x-x-x-x-x-------x-x-x-x-x-x-----x-x-----x-x----|

G|-----x-x-x-x-x-x-----x-x-x-x-x-x-------x-x-x-x-x-x-----x-x-----x-x----|
D|-5-5-x-x-x-x-x-x-8-8-x-x-x-x-x-x-10-10-x-x-x-x-x-x-8-8-x-x-3-3-x-x-5-5|x4
A|-5-5-x-x-x-x-x-x-8-8-x-x-x-x-x-x-10-10-x-x-x-x-x-x-8-8-x-x-3-3-x-x-5-5|

But on the 4th time, end on -
e|-----x-x-x-x-x-x-----x-x-x-x-x-x-------x-x-x-x-x-x--0-3-0-0-3-0|
B|-----x-x-x-x-x-x-----x-x-x-x-x-x-------x-x-x-x-x-x--0-3-0-0-3-0|
G|-----x-x-x-x-x-x-----x-x-x-x-x-x-------x-x-x-x-x-x--0-3-0-0-3-0|
D|-5-5-x-x-x-x-x-x-8-8-x-x-x-x-x-x-10-10-x-x-x-x-x-x--0-3-0-0-3-0|
A|-5-5-x-x-x-x-x-x-8-8-x-x-x-x-x-x-10-10-x-x-x-x-x-x-------------|
E|-3-3-x-x-x-x-x-x-6-6-x-x-x-x-x-x-8--8--x-x-x-x-x-x-------------|

[Chorus]
e|-3/12-3/5-5-5-5|
B|-3/12-3/5-5-5-5|
G|-3/12-3/5-5-5-5|
D|-3/12-3/5-5-5-5|X8
A|---------------|
E|---------------|

Then the verse repeats again

Then the Chorus repeats again, but then goes into a solo -

e|----------------------------------------------------------|
B|-11-11--------------11-11--------------11-11--------------|
G|----10-----------------10-----------------10--------------|
D|-------12--17-15-17-------12--17-15-17-------12--17-15-17-|
A|----------------------------------------------------------|
E|----------------------------------------------------------|

e|----------------------------------|
B|----------------------------------|
G|-12b-12b-12b-15b-15b-15b-17b17b17b|
D|----------------------------------|
A|----------------------------------|
E|----------------------------------|

Then the verse repeats again.

Then the Chorus repeats again and it ends there.

A pretty easy song, please rate and comment, and email me at bigearspeers28@hotmail.com
you've got any problems with it.

I've marked the parts that need a slide, you can do it without one but it doesn't
sound half as good.
