Texas In July – Hook Line And Sinner tab

By: Brian Benzinger
Tuning: Drop C

Hi, I tabbed this song a few months ago by ear after listening to these guys live and 
really impressed. I've actually, tabbed most of their other songs, too, but they're not 
complete.
A lot of this song is just chugging away open strings, so I tried to make it as exact as 
to help with the timing.
Check this, it's probably about 98% correct.
