"Sam Hell"      by Helmet
                from the album "Betty"
                words and music by Page Nye Hamilton
                tabbed by Tom Mallon

This is played on a six-string banjo. I figured it out reasonably
well on a guitar in Dropped-D tuning. If you find something that's
incorrect or might sound better, by all means post it.

There are various solos/fills played on an acoustic guitar in the background.
However, solos aren't my strong point. If anyone wants to take the time to
figure out and post them, have fun.
