Song: School of Hard Knocks Band: P.O.D. Album: 'Little Nicky' Sound Track Tabbed by: Alejandro D'Brot alexd@terra.com b= bend to indicated note r= release to original note or .= natural harmonic x= muted note or chord Tuning: Standard D - DGCFAd NOTE: Although this tab is very similar to szkieletor's live version, it is completely my work. It's in the same format as my last tab, just with the right tunning. I think both of us based it on a live P.O.D. video and got a similar result, but there were a number of differences, so I'm posting it anyway :p. Anyway... leave out the first part of the song like P.O.D. does live.
