Tabs and lyrics
Tunning: Standard (E A D G B e)
Halestorm
Love Bites (So Do I)
Drop D tuning (DADgbe)

I like to play a lot of the open D notes with
the open A string to make it sound a little heavier.

back to the

At the very end there is some kind of variation on the break at 1:44
It is similar to this:(2:59)
e|--------------------------------------------------|
b|--------------------------------------------------|
g|--------------------------------------------------|
D|--------------------------------------------------|
A|7-0-5-0-7-0-5-0-888-775-0-------------------------|
D|7-0-5-0-7-0-5-0-888-775-0-------------------------|

Also note at spots like (0:40) and (1:21) it sounds like the guitarist is just pulling
off these notes:
e|--------------------------------------------------|
b|--------------------------------------------------|
g|--------------------------------------------------|
D|--------------------------------------------------|
A|--------------------------------------------------|
D|5p3p0---------------------------------------------|

And that ends the song. Its a fun song to play and was good practice to learn by ear.
Hope it helps.

LOVE BITES (SO DO I) - Halestorm
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Tabbed by: Natalie


Email: punk11593@aol.com

This is one of my first tabs to submit on here. I love this song! I wanted to learn it,
but noticed there were only a few tabs on ultimate-guitar for it and some I felt were
either lacking accuracy, the right sound, or just parts. So I decided to learn it
on my own and make a tab! A lot of it's improvised, but I think it sounds right.
Let me know what you think. Any changes that you think should be made, suggestions,
comments are appreciated. Sorry if it looks confusing. Thanks for viewing! Rock on.
