USE MY THIRD ARM
by Pantera
tabbed by Tom Mallon

This has got to be one of Pantera's heaviest songs ever. Here's how I
figured it out. Most of the verse and intro parts are just muted strings
or palm-muted 022xxx chords and this really weird chord that Darrell
demonstrated in his Guitar World column, so I know it's right. They call
it an Eb/Bbadd2 in the mag, it's shaped like 1113xx. Some of the other
parts are not exactly right but close. Enjoy.
