Mosquito Song Chords & Tabs
Artist: Queens Of The Stone Age
Album: Songs For The Deaf
Track: Mosquito Song
This is an amazing added track on the end of their 3rd album "Songs For The Deaf".
Unfortunately QOTSA play it with a 12 string guitar, which i dont have, and in CGCFAD
tuning, whcih i couldnt be arsed to tune to. So i decided to write the tabs for it in
standard tuning. And this is what i came up with.....
p - pick off
h - hammer on
* - let ring
