Rated R (album)

(início)

1.
Alright this is well easy and sounds good really loud.

repeat that for a long time for the 'Nicotine, Valium...' bit.

Thats the lot really. Just go slightly more nuts later on, listen
to the song and you should get it no worries.
Any corrections or suggestions would be appreciated.
Song: The Lost Art of Keeping a Secret
Artist: Queens of the Stone Age
Album: Rated R
Ok this is the second single off of Rated R and its class.
This is pretty simple as well although there are two
guitars playing, one an octave higher on certain bits to give
it a layered effect but its not that important.
All guitars tuned down two whole steps to C
Low to High=C,F,Bb,Eb,G,C
Im not gonna put how many times you hit each chord unless
its a little tricky to hear.

Play each chord for a bar each. End with that little fiddle.
Chorus
Gtr.1

These are both played at exactly the same time btw
Bridge
Gtr.1
Bb5  C5    ?    C5 (2nd time only)

Hit that ? Octave for about 2 bars or something
Solo
Other guitar plays intro/verse chords throughout

Do that twice, except dragging out the bends a little
more. They're all full bends btw
Then

Really drag out those first 2 bends
Outro
I think both guitars play this, probably with a little
variation in there somewhere.

Thats it!

When there's so much to lose

Infiltrate the walls that are caving in
It ain't a bad thing
This ain't reality

It ain't a bad thing
Because it is natural
