Permanent Holiday
By The Suicide Machines
Tabbed by SuMa
Note: For this song, if you have a 5-way pickup switch, use bridge & middle pickups
(if you have a 3-way, use bridge) w/ tone knob at 10
Have your amp at gain=3.5, treble=8, middle=8, bass=10, presence=10
Standard tuning (eBGDAE)
Oh yeah, I almost forgot: THIS TAB IS 100% ACCURATE, SO TAKE THAT! I am the biggest
Suicide Machines fan in existence, so I’ve played this to the cd SEVERAL HUNDRED times
to make sure it was right. One more thing: if you are just a beginner and want an easier
way to play it, have your guitar in Drop-D (eBGDAD) and just add 2 frets to what I put
for the E string
/ = slide up
\ = slide down
* = palm mute
x = regular mute
