Queens of the Stone Age
The Lost Art Of Keeping A Secret
Bass Tabs

Tabbed by DRybes


Tuning:   Down 2 whole steps   == C F Bb Eb ==

This is how it's played on the CD, and it's played with a pick.
To get this tuning you can also tune a 5 string half a step up.


/ ... Slide Up        p ... Pull Off
 ... Slide Down      h ... Hammer On


This is all my own work. Enjoy.
