The Critic

4/4 time, bass notes hit every-other
 beat
I labeled the chords underneath to 
clarify fingerings
Intro:
e|-----3-----0-----0-----2?     
B|-----3-----3-----1-----3-     
G|-----0-----0-----2-----2-     
D|-----0-----0-----0--0----     
A|-----2--2-----3----------     
E|--3----------------------     
e|                              
B|                              
G|Play twice, then third time   
D|instead of the ?D? part,      
A|slide into this ?C? part?     
E|(C chord moved up 1 fret)     

   G    G/B    C     D

e|-----0-----2-----2--------------
B|-----2-----3-----3--------------
G|-----3-----2-----2--------------
D|-----0--0-----0-----0-----------
A|--4--------------------3--2--0--
E|--------------------------------
e|---                       
B|---                       
G|---                       
D|---                       
A|---                       
E|3--   ?back to beginning  

   C*    D     D     C-walkdown
(don?t know name of that C-chord, 
any help?)

So during the song, where you see a 
chord name, what?s really being 
played is
what?s above, baselines first and 
the chords strummed, pretty simple 
but a task
to tab out;)

Also, Larry said to just post this 
without all the chords so if anyone 
can get
that darn bridge figured out, 
private message me or submit your 
own version?I
think its in Ab or A-dim something 
like that?enjoy!  Seminole9300
