Happy Pills

Tab by Joe Costello (*)

Standard Tuning

This song is fast, and rocks hard. 
Use distortion through all of it, 
and there's a
really cool effect in the intro, 
probably a flanger with distortion.

Symbols Used:
=============
/ = slide up
X = muted strings
b = bend note to pitch of note in 
parenthesis

Riff 1 under the solo though.

Bridge: Guitar 1 play Riff 1.
