------------------------------------------------------------------------------- THE RED WHITE AND BLUES- DEFEATER ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Tabbed by: Connor M Email: connormccleskey@gmail.com So this song is (intentionally) played pretty sloppily and aggressively, but I still tried to tab it out as best I could. Tuning: D Standard (Whole Step Down) The Rhythm plays the same 2 easy open chords the entire time. The picking pattern is easy enough to figure out. I'll put it first. Chords Used: (The chord names might be wrong but comment and I'll correct) Em7 Cadd9 e| 3 e| 3 b| 3 b| 3 g| 0 g| 0 d| 2 d| 2 a| 2 a| 3 E| 0 E| X Em7 Cadd9 Em7 Cadd9 Em7 The Whiskey burns going down Cadd9 Old man pour me another round Em7 Cause it's my last night in town Cadd9 And I ain't thinking of slowing down. Em7 No, I am fixing to drown Repeat verse ad nauseum So thats all the rhythm does over and over again. The lead is not much more exciting "The whiskey burns going down..."
