Song: Barrel of a Gun Artist: Guster Tabbed by: Ari Mihaltses Email: modulater@aol.com Tuning: Standard Tune, Capo on first fret This was tabbed by listening to the CD and also watching Ryan's hands from when they played this song on Conan, I think its pretty right. Mostly, this is what Ryan plays, I added little parts (that Adam plays on his guitar) that make it sound more complete. Listen to song for strumming patterns. **Note, tabbing is NOT relative to capo, it is the actual frets, so if you see a "1" it means to leave the string open because the capo has it covered ;) I debated about which format to use to write it down and this is the least confusing in my mind. **Also, the lyrics I have provided above each section are for being specific about which part I am referring to and in no way match up with the chord progression underneath. Listen to the song for the changes.
