Kings Of Leon - Pickup Truck Chords & Tabs

Pickup Truck
Standard Tuning
Tabbed by: yulizavala22

This tab took me a while to do and I always wanted to learn Caleb’s riff but I couldn’t
find any that matched so I was like screw it I’m making my own. Also I think this tab
gives a little more detail on Matthew’s guitar part because all of the other tabs I’ve 
seen weren’t tabbed correct and didn’t give enough info. I also saw the live versions and
this helped out on a few parts. I have to give credit to zero83 and antroolez for 
helping me make this. Enjoy!
