I love queens but lets face it, josh aint too adventurous with his solos.
Peace out, Johnny Nighthawk O'Rawk
Tunning: Standard (E A D G B e)
Nobody tabbed this in the right tuning, so here it is. J Ho's playing bass here. This
tab is in C, but it's actually in E tuning, great blues song with Billy Gibbon (bearded
rabbi-looking chap from ZZ Top). I
love this song, enjoy

Well, this is one thorough tab. it may seem a little confusing, and i, yeah, sorry about that
Tunning: Standard (E A D G B e)
I am a big Queens of the stone age fan. i tried the other versions of this song but it sound right to me, so i tabbed this for you. It sounds almost exact to me, the timing exact...improvise lol, anyways i hope you find it useful. the chorus took me forever and as close as i could get it, i had to use a program to kind of mute the drumming so i hear the guitar part and i think theres 3 guitars or 2 guitars and distorted bass or in this song but i just tabbed it in 2 Guitar parts.
Enjoy. :) Queens Of The Stone Age ROCK!

I've been working on this all day and i think its a hell of a lot more accurate than the versions on here, and i hope u found it useful. thanks for reading, i might do the solos another day that I've got this much time on my which could be quite soon haha.
