Before the chorus, muffle the strings and strum four times fast in-
sted of the three strums

[Main riff]

Now after the guitar plays this a few times, sometimes it slides at the 6th fret all
the way down the fretboard untill you hit the pickups. He does this twice. Sometimes
he just pushes the whammy all the way down at 6. He does this once. You have to watch
the video to understand.

Toadies - 'Possum Kingdom'
Standard Tuning
Tabbed by jjhand, with help from Twisted Tool's tab

I just wanted to clear up the other tab available so the chords
were accurate. This song has some interesting chord changes that
are hard to follow but I tried to give a general rhythm. Please
rate or comment! Thanks!
