Rodent
Tuning: Half-Step Down
For all the D chords in the verse, play a D for 4 beats, then a Dsus2 for 2 beats and a
Dsus4 for 2 beats like here in the intro:
D Bm G
eb|-2--------0----3----|-2--------0----3----|-2--------0----3----|-2--------0----3----|

Also, all the F#m chords in the outro ("I am only bad news") are really quick and can be
played as just the 2nd fret of the Eb string.
