SLOW MOTION - Third Eye Blind

Tabbed by:Johnnybench9
Hey, this is a great song, very simple and easy. Tuning is standard.
I tried to be accurate with chord placement but figure out exact
timing by listening to the song. all chords should be standard bar
chords. if you prefer using open chords just plug in "transpose
down a half step" at the top, capo the first fret, and then play
all chords relative to the capo. where it says "palm mute" strum
the chord once and immediately mute all strings. here it goes.

There's an arc to his fist as he swings

Won't grow old to be

A junkie wino creep
