"Honey Bucket" by the Melvins
from Houdini
Tabbed by Mr. Cancelled (dopasaurusrex@gmail.com)
Drop D Tuning (e,B,G,D,A,D)
The other tabs for this song kinda suck, so here's my take on it. It sounds
pretty accurate when I play it, but maybe I'm tone deaf. You decide.

Repeat the verse (applying palm mutes to everything but the first fret during
the vocals), then play the chorus. End the song right before the open palm
mutes. Enjoy.
