Gardenia Tab

This song is the sex

I've arranged the riff in chronological order with the song structure and 
timestamps where necessary.

Notes:

C|--101010---|, etc - These are 10,10,10 not 1,0,1,0,1,0
* = section may be played at a lower octave
& = notes are optional
||---|| = bars to repeat

>Bass fill

ALL (Bass Fill)s ARE RIGHT BEFORE THE NEXT SECTION IN THE SONG STRUCTURE
They also appear in the middle of the chorus (you'll hear them all don't worry)

A baby could get this tab, but Scott Reeder's got a style that's very accented and 
and you want to be doing that too to make it sound like the song.

KYUSS FUCK YEAH
