Happy Pills Tab By Candlebox

Song: Happy Pills
Band: Candlebox
Album: Happy Pills

Tab by Joe Costello (joseph.costello@villanova.edu)

Standard Tuning

This song is fast, and rocks hard. Use distortion through all of it, and there's a
really cool effect in the intro, I think it's a flanger with distortion. 

Symbols Used:
=============
/ = slide up
X = muted strings
b = bend note to pitch of note in parenthesis

solo, e-mail me... cause I'm not going to figure this one out. Play Riff 1 under the solo though.
