Song: Happy Pills Band: Candlebox Album: Happy Pills Tab by Joe Costello (jcostello86@gmail.com) 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, probably a flanger with distortion. Symbols Used: ============= / = slide up X = muted strings b = bend note to pitch of note in parenthesis Intro - Riff 1: (3x) e|-------------------------|--------------------------| B|-------------------------|--------------------------| G|------------------------*|--------------------------| D|--4/6--6--6--4/7--7--7--*|--4/6--6--6--X-X-X-X-X-X--| A|--4/6--6--6--4/7--7--7---|--4/6--6--6--X-X-X-X-X-X--| E|--2/4--4--4--2/5--5--5---|--2/4--4--4--X-X-X-X-X-X--| Band enters, play Riff 1 4x.
