Working Man Tabs

(ver. 1)
Audioslave
The tuning for this is BGDGBe. For those who don't know tune the 2nd string to the 7th fret
on the 3rd string and the 1st string to the 8th fret on the 2nd, you have to do it in that
order for it to work.

This is a song they play live at some gigs, it a cover of a song by some band, I can't remember who.

Solo

As usual with Tom the solo is different at every gig. The 2 times I've heard this song he played a note on every off beat from the scale used for the solo's in Know Your Enemy, Shadow On The Sun many more.
This is a solo from a gig in New York, I'm not 100% sure as he uses a whammy to bend the notes

e|-----20~---------|-----20~----------|------20~----------|-----20~----------|

This is the scale he uses for this solo and a lot of his others.
