The Bottom Staind
--STAIND - THE BOTTOM--
This is, in my opinion, Staind's best song, from their best album. It was written on a
baritone guitar, and is played live on a 7-string, but this tab is for a standard
6-string for the rest of us.
Intro (dist.) 4x

uppercase = note
lowercase = rest
x = press down hard on the string above the bridge pickup
