Social Distortion - Ball And Chain (live)
Lead Guitar: Mike Ness
Rhythm Guitar: 

For some reason the CD version sounds different than off their live CD so this is for the 

live version. It still sounds pretty good though.

This is my first tab so the strumming and stuff isn't all that great.


Standard Tuning
Capo 1st fret (all tab relative to the capo)

I tabbed out the srumming as best I could but just listen to the song, that makes it easier.
