Happy Pills by Candlebox
Happy Pills
Standard Tuning
This song is fast, and rocks hard. Use distortion through all of it, and there's a
really cool effect in the intro, probably a flanger with distortion.
Symbols Used:
=============
/ = slide up
X = muted strings
b = bend note to pitch of note in parenthesis
Intro - Riff 1:
(3x)
