                        Sledgehammer - The Fall of Troy
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Tabbed by: Skeedss

Sledgehammer's a great song! It's off their third studio album Manipulator. The Fall of Troy 
never fail to deliver entertaining and challenging bass lines.
Tim Ward uses a pick and I'd imagine this song would be near impossible 
without one.
I tried to capture a lot of the variations and fills found in Tim's unique playing style. 

Tuning: D A D G

Intro                                                                  1st time     2nd time
