Machine Head
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
                        TEN TON HAMMER - Machine Head
----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Tuning: Drop B (B F# B F G# C#)

Note: Notice the 3rd string tuning, it is tuned from E to F. Don't ask me why,
it makes the harmonics sound better. Robb Flynn said it himself.
