Bad Religeon tab by Godsmack

RJMan

Drop D tuning, lots of distortion
This is a fairly easy song that some people still can't tab right.
You may have to listen carefully to know that this tab is correct.

Intro:

e----------------|
B----------------|
G----------------|
D-0-0-00-0-00----|
A-0-0-00-0-00----|
E-0-0-00-0-00----| Get Back!

E-0-0-00-0-0-00-0-0-00-0-0-00---|

Chorus: I know you may not think this is what it sounds like, but if
you listen carefully you will hear the extra notes being played. I only
call them extra notes because if you compare this with other tabs, you will
discover that some people are tone deaf and did not put them in.
