Song:     Only God Knows Why

Artist:   Kid Rock

Album:    Devil W/O a Cause
 
Transcribed by:  Bert Rodriguez
 
 

After searching around on the net 1/2 an hour for the solo, I gave up and

decided to figure out myself and submit it to make it easier for all you

other bastards.

 

The only difference with my version is I play the chords with the bottom

two strings open.  It makes it easier to play and sounds a lot nicer, too.

*Check out the bottom to see what I'm talking about.*

 

(Std. Tuning)

 E B G D A E

 

Verse: E B A E, E B A E  repeat until....

 

                                                      
D                  E              

I guess that's the price.......

 

A                                     E

Outstretched stands............
