/ Queens Of The Stone Age / Lullabies to Paralyze (2005) / Tangled Up in Plaid guitar tab

This is possibly the best song on Lullabies to Paralyze. I'd say it's a toss up between
this and The Blood is Love. In C Tuning, and there's a lot of weird changes in the
rhythm. It's hard to get the lyrics exact because it sounds like he's singing through a
fucking coffee can, but i got most of them

Intro
Guitar I (this is actually a piano i think but play it with a high tone clean and it
will sound the same)
