Powderfinger - On My Mind 
 
Transcribed by Paul @ OzTabs (oztabs@bigpond.com) 
 
I've just tabbed the rhythm guitar for this song, I've only 
got an MP3 of it at this stage, perhaps when the single is 
released I'll be able to have a better listen & figure out 
some of the lead stuff that's going on. For most of the  
chords, you can hammer on to the root note from an open E 
string ie E-|--0h6--0h6--- etc, do this especially in the 
pre chorus parts - listen to the song & you'll hear when it's 
appropriate. Thanks to Jordan for figuring out the lyrics. 
Comments, corrections & additions are welcome.
