E         A                 E
Messenger always brings bad news
                           A             E
Just a trick of fate or am I the one you abuse?
              A          E
You've got me all messed up
A                  B              A    E
Riding through the wind don't get left behind
                    A          E
So easy to say, but oh I can't complain
                                     A            E
Watch this trick up his sleeve or am I the one to blame?
              A          E
You've got me all messed up
A                  B              A    E
Riding through the wind don't get left behind

While I appreciate the effort in breaking down the riff for "Over The Edge," I have to critique the lack of detail in the instructional content. A beginner might find it tough to fully grasp the nuances of that riff just from this tab. For effective guitar learning, it would be beneficial to include pointers on finger placement, strumming technique, and even some tips on timing. It’s all in the details, and without them, players might miss the authentic vibe of the song. If you're really aiming to help others learn guitar, consider providing a more comprehensive breakdown next time.
