Capo 6th Fret
Standard Tuning
In verse 1, the 0h2 hammer on isn't played, but I leave it in because it sounds nice. In
the song, the last part of the main riff (namely the middle of the F chord) is
strummed. Listen to the song for correct timing.

Is he still coming around like an injured bird, needing a nest
A place to rest his head in a song you’ll regret
Still you take him, Lord knows I don’t want to compete
But I still sleep

Swallow him whole like a pill that makes you choke and stills your soul
You have the nerve to look me in the eyes and lie

Send him back, I'll share the trap that you have me in
Here is the mini solo for the electric guitar; not going to bother tabbing out the power
chords, that’ should be easy enough for yall to do
