"I'll take you down a notch, pogo stick"
Judging from the guitar Josh Homme uses, this song is in E Standard tuning, but I did it
C , so keep that in mind.
Guitar Tuning:
C-F-A#-D#-G-C
(*note*I'm gonna try to put each line he sings on the correct chord, but it may be a
off here and there. If it goes past the guitar tab then assume it's within the same phrase.)
