Down Rodeo Tabs

(ver. 1)
Rage Against The Machine
Standard Tuning
Notation:
b=bend
r=return
h=hammer-on

I think that's all you'll need for this song.

When you make the transition from this figure to the next, eliminate the
part I set aside that looks like new bar.

(over and over again)

This is played while another guitar comes in and rubs the pick across
one of the lower-note strings.  I think.  After all, Tom does some
pretty weird, but cool, things when he plays.....

The last part is just Tom playing a high "F" on the "D" string's 14 fret
to a regular pattern.  Or maybe it's on the "B" string's 14 fret, I
can't remember which.  It's easy to figure out.  Then the final chord is
just this..... 
-14
-14 
-12
