Subject: TAB: "One Headlight" by "The Wallflowers"
Album: "Bringing Down The Horses"(1996)

This is an awesome song and took me a long time to finally
tab out so make good use of it. It takes a lot of
memorization to remember it all. Lots of parts are really
hard to hear so they probably aren't correct but it will
probably come it in a magazine sometime in the near future
so you can check with it.

There's actually about 6 different guitars in this song but
I basically tabbed out the one lead guitar except for in the
solo and in the outro.

Notes:

The studio version of this song actually uses a bunch of overlapped guitars.
It's very difficult to tab it out for just one guitar, but here is an attempt.

Also, I suggest playing the song with a kind of.."Horse Gallup" type strumming pattern,
while hitting mostly the lower strings:
Down-Down Up, Down-Down Up, etc

The intro is actually played with Drop-D tuning.
However, in order to avoid tuning your guitar to Drop-D,
you could play it in STANDARD TUNING like below, to make it
sound similar:
