Cloudkicker - States
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Artist: Cloudkicker
Album: The discovery
Song: States
Tuning: Drop B
B, F#, B, E, G#, C#
DISCLAIMER: I did NOT write the song! All credit goes to Ben sharp. (AKA Cloudkicker) I
just wrote this tab, so people could learn this epic song.
This song is very awesome and fun to play, so I thought I would make a tab since nobody
else had done it, but keep in mind that I don't know much about time signatures and all
that and the song is in like 15/4 so the bars does not really indicate the beat, they
show more change of the riffs and melodies, for example in the intro when it goes from D#
to B.
Intro riff:

then the same patterns are played with these chords

"Verse" riff
C#|------------|-----------|
G#|------------|-----------|
E |-------(2)--|------(2)--|
B |--------4---|-------4---|

Then comes the intro riff again.
Riff 3: Repeat this a lot of times.

G#|----------------------|
E |----------------------|
B |-0---11---0-0---11-11-|
F#|-0---9----0-0---9--9--|

Then the intro riff plays until it fades out.
and that's pretty much it, there is probably some minor flaws but that's the best i can
do right now. Enjoy! If you have any questions then email me at Hyks97@hotmail.com
