Song: The Lost Art of Keeping a Secret
Artist: Queens of the Stone Age
Album: Rated R
By: Luke Kendrick ewokmuncher@hotmail.com

Ok this is the second single off of Rated R and its class.
This is pretty simple as well although there are two
guitars playing, one an octave higher on certain bits to give
it a layered effect but its not that important.

All guitars tuned down two whole steps to C
Low to High=C,F,Bb,Eb,G,C

Im not gonna put how many times you hit each chord unless
its a little tricky to hear.

Intro and Verse
E5 (022xxx@1) B5 (x244xx@1) Bb5 (x133xx@1)A5----------------------------------------------- (x022xx@1)-----------------------------------------------
-9---------------------------------------------
-9----9----8----7------7b--7-5-----------------
-7----9----8----7---0-----------7--------------
-0----7----6----5------------------------------

Play each chord for a bar each. End with that little fiddle.

Chorus
Gtr.1
E5 (022xxx@1) B5 (x244xx@1) Bb5 (x133xx@1)G5 (355xxx@1)    A5 (x022xx@1)B5------------------------------------------------ (x244xx@1)------------------------------------------------
-9----------------------------------------------

These are both played at exactly the same time btw

Bridge
Gtr.1

------------------------------------------------
------------------------------------------------
-15---17---16----17-----------------------------
-15---17----X----17-----------------------------
-13---15---14----15-----------------------------
------------------------------------------------

Hit that ? Octave for about 2 bars or something

Solo
Other guitar plays intro/verse chords throughout
-12b------15b---13b-----------------------------
-15b--15--18b---16b-----------------------------
---------------------11b--12b-------------------
---------------------14b--15b-------------------
------------------------------------------------
------------------------------------------------
Do that twice, except dragging out the bends a little
more. They're all full bends btw
Then
-12b--------15b--------18b---18b---17b----------
-15b--------18b--------21b---21b---20b----------
------------------------------------------------
------------------------------------------------
------------------------------------------------
------------------------------------------------
Really drag out those first 2 bends

Outro
I think both guitars play this, probably with a little
variation in there somewhere.
