Band: Skid Row Album: SKID ROW Song: Medicine Jar Tuning: EADGBE (standard) ============================================================================================================== Notes + Intro part 2/Chorus: There are two possible styles; maybe Dave plays one version and Scottie plays the other Go with what is comfortable. E|--------| |----------| B|--------| |----------| G|--------| or |----------| D|-----24-| |----------| A|-0^4-02-| |-0^44/7/9-| E|-0^2----| |-0^22/5/7-| + Chorus: the last chord hammer-on is actually the start of the verse. It is played immediately before the first spoken lyric. + Lead lines: I gave it my best shot, but I know it is not even 90% correct. Please add fixes as you play through so we can get this 100% correct. + Rhythm Verses: same as the Intro. I took off the hammer-ons to keep the tab clean. + Solo and Intro Leads: Scottie uses an effect that I don't have access to, so I made my best guess as to the actual guitar note. Maybe an Harmonizer set at a 3rd+. + PH: means Pinch Harmonics ============================================================================================================== Intro Rhythm Section 2 is played x3 E|-----|--------------------------|------| B|-----|--------------------------|------| G|-----|--------------------------|------| D|-----|--------------------------|------| A|-----|--------------------------|-//xx-| E|-0^2-|-00^2-00^2-00^2-00^2-00^2-|-//xx-| Lead E|-------------------------------------| B|--harmonics with whammy bar dives----| G|-------------------------------------| D|-------------------------------------| A|-------------------------------------| E|-------------------------------------| Intro part 2/Chorus Rhythm E|---------------------------------------------------------|-----| B|---------------------------------------------------------|-----| G|---------------------------------------------------------|-----| D|-----24-----24-----24-----24-----24-----24-----24-----24-|-----| A|-0^4-02-0^4-02-0^4-02-0^4-02-0^4-02-0^4-02-0^4-02-0^4-02-|-0^4-| E|-0^2----0^2----0^2----0^2----0^2----0^2----0^2----0^2----|-0^2-| Verse 1 Both Guitars Caught the mother jack knifin' A little bit low lifin' Goin' E|------------------------------------------------------------| B|------------------------------------------------------------| G|------------------------------------------------------------| D|------------------------------------------------------------| A|---------------------------0^4--------------------0^4-0^4---| E|---------------------------0^2--------------------0^2-0^2---| twenty paces with the Medicine Man E|-----------------------------------------| B|-----------------------------------------| G|-----------------------------------------| D|-----------------------------------------| A|-----------------0^4-0^4---------/xx-----| E|-----------------0^2-0^2---------/xx-/10-| Runnin' from the girl in pigskin A little gun shy but shootin' E|------------------------------------------------------------| B|----------------2b-(2)-(2)-(2)--------------4b-(4)-(4)-(4)--| G|----------------2b-(2)-(2)-(2)--------------4b-(4)-(4)-(4)--| D|------------------------------------------------------------| A|------------------------------------------------------------| E|-0^2--002--002----------------0^2--002--002-----------------| Hidin' in the kitchen with his head in his hand E|-------------------------------------| B|-------------------------------------| G|-------------------------------------| D|-------------------------------------| A|-------------------------------------| E|-0^2-002-002-002-002-002-002-002-002-| Bleed, me, why can't you say what you mean?
