Choose a fret
            One Way Mule – By SILVERCHAIR
Tabbed by IVANDUKE – This is the REAL One way mule Tab, to all Silverchairґs fans. Enjoy.

This song uses a Drop-B tuning, but I prefer to play it in Drop-C.
It’s easier to tune the guitar and the power chords sounds better.

Drop-C Tuning: C, G, C, F, A, D 

It works like a Drop-D tuning, but gives you extra-power chords.

/= Slide
H= Hammer on
Bu= Bend up
Bd= Bend down
P= Pull off
