Like A Drug Chords & Tabs
This is off Vol. 6 of the Desert Sessions.... wow, I love the
feel of this song! Throw a bunch of reverb on your guitar, tune
it down half a step and you're all set! =)
Tuned Down a Half-Step (EADGBE)

number of times before playing the 2nd part. This number varies
throughout the song, so you'll really need to listen to it.
