When Youre Evil


Hey everybody. If you're looking at this tab then you're most likely a Voltaire fan as I am. I kinda got tired of there being no good tabs for any Voltaire songs, so I decided to make my own. I found out how to play over half his songs on my own, all by ear! His guitar riffs are very simple. This is my first tab. Enjoy and rate please!! =] Voltaire - When You're Evil Tuning: Full Step Down [D G C F A D] NOTE!! : parenthesised chords are the chords in terms of sound!
