Poison Heart Tab

451 views, added to favorites 1 time

I've simplified the lay out and provide tabs for two guitars, as per the studio recording. Timing is pretty easy work out as with most Ramones songs. Did my best to connect the the second guitar with what the rhythm guitar is doing.Was this info helpful?

Difficulty:	beginner
Tuning:	E A D G B E
Key:	Cm
Capo:	no capo
