Kings of Leon with Black Thumbnail
Tabbed by kruutje
This tab is 95% correct, few things in the end are not good to hear.. It's very cool to
this bassline, even as many other KOL songs.

make a tab yourself.. i will look through your corrections, maybe i correct it...

This is so wrong :( the first verse is played on the E string. 11th fret hammering onto the 12th and then the 9th fret hammering onto the 11th. The bit before the second part of the first verse and the whole second verse is... G------------- D-12-11-10-9-- A------------- E------------- The second part of the first verse and the entire second verse is... G------------------- D-----------12-14--- A--------14--------- E-12(12)------------ I'm not even gonna start on the solo and stuff >_<

[ edit ] Sorry, during the first verse I meant 9th fret hammering onto the 10th, not 11th :] All the bits I corrected are with the tremelo effect, by the way.
