Leave The Bourbon On The Shelf
The Killers
Sawdust
Transcribed by Tim Ronco
The strum pattern used throughout the entire song is a combination of
clean and palm muted strums. It's pretty easy to get in your head, which
makes this song so darn catchy.
These are the chords used. You can figure out how they go with the strum
pattern. These are the chords used unless a tab is provided.

It's easiest to play the first three chords with your middle finger on the E
string, index finger on the A string, and pinky finger on the D string.
Or Alternative chords for those who can reach

For those of you who don't like the fingering, this song would be easier to
play in Drop D, but unless it's standard tuning, I have no idea what you
would play for the A#m chord.
