Matthew Good Band - Truffle Pigs

This is just a revision of the original tab. All guitars in half-step tuning.
I'm not sure what the exact names of these chords are. For a better rhythm sense,
listen to the song!
(Low to High) - (Eb,Ab,Db,Gb,Bb,eb) - Play in Key of E Major (Sounds like Eb Major)

Gtr I - Matt - Acoustic (This guitar can switch to Gtr 3, if needed.)
Gtr II - Dave - Clean Electric (With heavy delay.)
Gtr III - Matt - Dirty Electric

Verse:
Gtr I - Rhythm Fig. 1: (Don't play 1st E during verse, only intro.)
