Tangled Up In Plaid Tabs

(ver. 2)
Queens Of The Stone Age
This is possibly the best song on Lullabies to Paralyze. I'd say it's a toss up between
this and The Blood is Love. In C Tuning, and there's a lot of weird changes in the
rhythm. 

Intro 
Guitar I (this is actually a piano, which returns with the same part right before the 2nd chorus)
