E|E|-------------------------------------------------------------------------------|| IF ONLY - QUEENS OF THE STONE AGE E|E|-------------------------------------------------------------------------------|| Tabbed by: Johan "Buck" Noren Tuning: C G Eb Bb F C (standard QOTSA tuning) This song is from their first album, one of the best in my opinion :) I would like to say this one is 100% correct, i've heard and seen them live enough times to get it down right. Drop me a line if you feel otherwise. [Intro/verse] This riff is played through out the song, even during the solo. If it gets you down, well then i'll take it....
