STING ME


well, for starters it's in open G (surprised?)
lemme see here. . .

the rhythm may be off. probably is actually. anyways. . .that's the main riff at the begining.

also, there's that descending part he does after the riff in the begining it's just F to E to G. the thing 
this song is you can's really play it wrong. just jam it out. i usually plat octaves on the 6 and 4 
you'll figure it out.

the chorus is like this

Can ya sting meeeeeeetc. . .

-0-----3------5------------|
-0-----3------6------------|
-0-----3------5------------|
-0-----3------7------------|
-0-----3------5------------|
---------------------------|

right to my rotten bones

---5---5--5----5------0------|
---5---5--5----5------0------|
---5---5--5----5------0------|
---5---5--5----5------0------|
---5---5--5----5------0------|
-----------------------------|


the just before the solo, vamp a little bit in G using a dominant seventh and a flatted third (F and Bflat 
you got lost for a second there)

then the solo is just the chorus progression.

and that very funky riff under that next verse (oooh c'mon my sweet little thang. . .) is like this. . .

---------------------|
---3^----------------|
---3^----------------|
-------5-3-5-3-5-----|
---------------------|
---------------------|

oh yeah, i forgot about this part before, sorry.

i don't mean to sound bitter. . .
