Cigarettes by King's X from the Dogman CD - 1993/4
Transcribed by Daniel S. Fisher (WetStone) in October 1995.

This song is great and it reminded me of "Pleiades" so why did I waste a
week of my time in Open G tuning when the song is actually in...
DROPPED D TUNING !!!???
I used Chordmaster Pro Plus to transcribe this file into playable *.AXE
format, and then printed it to a text file for this tab.
The equal signs after the numbers are indications of the length of each
note. I added notations and lyrics to the printed tab file.

In measure 3, hammer on with your little finger while barring both D strings at the 3rd fret).
