Band: The Dandy Warhols
Song: Mohammed
Tabbed by: Thom
To get this sounding perfect, ‘as recorded’ you should tune down something
like a quarter of a step, but it sounds spot on in regular tuning anyway.
The chord progression, throughout the song is; (Em/D/A, Em/D/A, Em/D/A/D/A)
Intro: The first minute of the song is drums and effects.
At about 1:10 the acoustic guitar starts picking from the chords, within the
progression and Pete plays this lead:
