Iowa – Slipknot Album-Iowa
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Tabbed by: thezohan
BTW, all other tabs for this song are horribly wrong.
Tuning: Drop A (A,E,A,D,F#,B)
It’s really on bass guitar, but it takes up a lot of the song, so I figured
I would tab it.

Yeah that’s really it. Keep it up for 15 minutes and you’ll be fine lol.
Oh yeah, near the end, they do the main riff with a flanger. BTW don’t reject it
Because you think it’s a fake song. Well I guarantee you it isn’t.
(My tattered and torn tab got rejected because someone said “is that even a real song”)
