DRINK THE FEAR - The Nixons
E|-----------------------------------------------------------------| 

Tabbed by: david0518
Tuning: 1/2 step down

Most Nixons songs are 1/2 step down from standard tuning.
Chords as indicated here will sound 1/2 step lower accordingly.

Song from the album "Foma" (1995)

There are two guitar parts in this song, like most Nixons songs,
this is mostly Guitar 1's parts. I will add fills and the lead parts 
where I can.

If your white they're white,
Black they're black
