                             ELEPHANTS - Them Crooked Vultures
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Tabbed by: TangledString

I saw a lot of tabs for this in open G, which I'm sure is the way Homme plays it, but I 
took the time to learn it in standard so here it is. Once you got the intro/outro the 
hardest part is the timing, so just play along. Also don't take any of my song structure
terms seriously, just was a way of organizing while tabbing.
