You Can't Quit Me Baby by Queens Of The Stone Age
You Can't Quit Me Baby
Played in C-tuning.
Novice difficulty if you leave out the fills and solo.
For a closer to true sound use a fuzz pedal.
Alternate between these two riffs from verse, the fills at the end can be
changed or left out all together (maintain the strumming of that riff in
their place though):
Verse Riff 1:
C|-----------------------------------------|
G|-----------------------------------------|
Eb|--------------------------15s17-17-17----|
Bb|---17-17-17--17-17--17-17----------------|
F|-----------------------------------------|

Verse Riff 2:

F|-----------------------------------------||
C|---12-12-12--12-12--12-12----------------||
Then comes this little pre-chorus part where Josh sings "I want you to
notice when I'm not around...", play verse riff 3 once, then play verse riff
4 twice, then return to the verse riffs above.
Verse Riff 3:
C|-----------------------------------------|
G|-----------------------------------------|
Eb|-----------------------------------------|
Bb|---19-19-19--19-19--19-19--19------------|
F|-----------------------------------------|
C|---17-17-17--17-17--17-17--17------------|
Verse Riff 4:
C|-----------------------------------------||
G|-----------------------------------------||
Eb|-----------------------------------------||
Bb|---18-18-18--18-18--18-18--18------------||
F|-----------------------------------------||
C|---16-16-16--16-16--16-16--16------------||
After resuming the verse riffs you eventually end on Verse Riff 2 with no
fill at the end. Play Verse Riff 3 and 4 above twice each, alternating
(3,4,3,4). Then play the small "solo" on guitar one while guitar 2 goes
back to verse riffs 1 and 2:
C|---------------------------------------------------------------12-12---|
G|---14b--------14----14b--------14----14b-------14----14b---------------|
Eb|-------13b--------------13b-------------13b-------------13b------------|
Bb|-----------11b--------------11b-------------11b-------------11---------|

Eb|-------13b-------------13b-------------13b-----------------------||
Bb|-----------11b-------------11b-------------11b-------------------||
F|-----------------------------------------------------------------||
C|-----------------------------------------------------------------||
Then comes the chorus there is a slide lead that drowns out the guitar quite
a bit but you'll see the slide is unecessary, once again the timing isn't
perfect just a rough guide. (For those starting out use your ring finger on
the G string, middle finger on the Bb, and bar the other strings lightly
with your index finger to mute them.)
Chorus (7x):
C|-----------------------------------------------------------------|
G|---3--3--3-3--3-3s5--5--5-5--5-5s7--7--7-7--7-7--7--7--7-7--7-7--|

These are the pieces for the most part, in the live version they throw in
improvised solo that starts slow and gets pretty wild towards the end. If
you want something more mild I recommend dotstudio's tab once again. This
song leaves a lot of room for improvision since there are two guitars
playing at all times so have fun with it and just use my tab as a guide.
It's a mistake, but who knows
Followed you home, crawled in your window
This life is a trip when you're psycho in love
And I know
Followed your friends, you were not there
Slashed and I cut, I bled in the sink
Heard what you said and you're laughing baby
Slashed and I cut, and I do it for you
I want you to notice when I'm not around
Wherever you are
You're solid gold
I'll see you in hell

version 3
Tuning: As always with the queens, the song is in C-tuning (C F Bb Eb G C)
Vers goes something like this. I think it's slightly palm muted, and it's
strummed pretty randomly. Each chord is played a bar each.
It's a mistake, but who knows. Followed you home.....

The outro solo is a wierd little piece based somewhat on the mini solo i did
earlier. The riff in the background is the same as the verse riff (which is
in the key of Eb i believe) so you maybe you can work around that.
It's a mistake, but who knows
Followed you home, crawled in your window
This life is a trip when you're psycho in love
And I know
Followed your friends, you were not there
Slashed and I cut, I bled in the sink
Heard what you said and you're laughing baby
Slashed and I cut, and I do it for you
I want you to notice when I'm not around
Wherever you are
You're solid gold
I'll see you in hell
