Cigarettes by King's X from the Dogman CD - 1993/4
Transcribed by Daniel S. Fisher (WetStone) in October 1995.

This song is great and it reminded me of "Pleiades" so why did I waste a
week of my time in Open G tuning when the song is actually in...
DROPPED D TUNING !!!???
I used Chordmaster Pro Plus to transcribe this file into playable *.AXE
format, and then printed it to a text file for this tab.
The equal signs after the numbers are indications of the length of each
note. I added notations and lyrics to the printed tab file.
DROPPED D TUNING
Approximately BPM = 141
4/4 Time
INTRO (play measures 1 through 8 before first verse, but play only measures
1 through 4 before the second verse, skip INTRO for the third verse)

(If you use your index and little fingers to slide up from 2&4 to 3&5 in
measure 1, use your ring finger to play the "D" string, then what follows
is self-evident. In measure 3, hammer on with your little finger while
barring both D strings at the 3rd fret).
