Queens of the Stone Age - If Only

I noticed that this song is very badly tabbed.  Just the basic notes, and even those
aren't right.  This is still a more basic version than some may hope for, but I don't
see the point in tabbing it out as he plays it, fills and all, as they're only subtle
and you can probably work them out.  This tab is just a framework.  Any
comments/questions PM me.


Intro is something like this.  Then cuts straight into verse part...

Verse part is below, though Nick Oliveri of course does not stick to this pattern 
 He has little fills and subtle changes.  You should be able to hear them, especially
as on album version the vocals, drums and bass are panned left and guitar entirely
right, so it's clearer to hear the bass if you either unplug right speaker or headphone.

G--------6--------5----------------------------------------------------------------------|
D-----6-----6----------------------------------------------------------------------------|
A--4-----------3-----1--1--1--1------------4---------------------------------------------|
E-----------------------------------1--4--6----------------------------------------------|

Chorus below, though again there are changes each time.  I have no idea how he played it 
and frankly don't care.  There's no point in copying him exactly.
