                        Queens of the Stone Age - If Only
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Tabbed by: Drew Heasman
Email: drewheasman@gmail.com

Tuning: Originally in C, but transposed for Standard (E,A,D,G,B,e)

I've written what Josh plays most times in terms of strumming.
There are plenty of changes to the strumming so don't play it rigid!
I got bored in solo 1 so it's incomplete.
