Even Rats – The Slip
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Tabbed by: Steveo

I tabbed this from a live version recorded 11.04.05 at the Mezzanotte Lounge in Syracuse, NY. I attended the show and have been listening to it since then because it was so amazing. I’m 95% sure of most of these riffs and progressions as far as the version I was using is concerned and all time indicators are in relation to this version. I have just the most basic parts, not a lot of the improvisation. Let me know if you figure something out that’s wrong or something I missed, I’d love to make it better.
