--STAIND - THE BOTTOM--
This is, in my opinion, Staind's best song, from their best album. It was written on a
baritone guitar, and is played live on a 7-string, but this tab is for a standard
6-string for the rest of us.
Intro (dist.) 4x
E E q Q E E q Q Q. E
uppercase note
lowercase rest
x press down hard on the string above the bridge pickup

the Intro riff is played twice with that the second time.
the Pre-Chorus is just the Intro 2x.
