I decided to make a tab for this song cause no one else did and this is
a great song.
Standard tuning
on the live dvd he uses a capo so im sure theres something to do with that, but i just
to the song and figured this out so if u know what he's doing u should email me cause i
know.

A E A E
I'm Broken hearted, I'm a broken man.
A E A E
Driven by anger, on that night I ran.
A E A E
I had me a woman, and only she be true.
A E A E
But she's gone and left me, you know my life is through.
Chorus:
A E A E
Lonely weekend, baby, lonely nights.
A E A E
The judge he gave me 99 to life.
-Main riff but just improvise-
verse II
I wish she could be here, Lord, if she only could.
Instead she's layin' in a puddle of blood.
Well, she was my baby, I thought she'd be my wife.
I killed my baby, I killed her with my knife.
chorus
the solo is just basically improvision of the main riff with bends and on the D and G
rather than the A and D. But here are some examples of what he does.
e---------------------------------|
B---------10--10--10--10--10--10--|
G-7-9-9/11--11--11--11--11--11----|
D-0-0-0---------------------------|
A---------------------------------|
E---------------------------------| stuff like that. That riff is also the end solo.
basically the song, but most of the riffs and solos r just improvisions of the main riff so
fun with it.
