Private Idaho

Tabbed by Gargoyle2500 (AKA 101Volts)

Before you read this tab please read these four notes:

1: This is how I play Private Idaho, In the studio version
there were overdubs making some parts (Like the intro) Impossible
to play live in the same amount of time and same speed.

2: This song can be played in normal tuning but Ricky Wilson liked
to tune his treble side strings in unison so tune your High E down
to a B if you want more sound and play the same frets as the B string.
(This is optional)

3: * = Stop playing string (Mute it)

You can use three string power chords rather than two for the end if you want.
