QUEEN OF PAIN - Alkaline Trio
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
By:Sean D'Souza (sean.dsouza@worldnet.att.net) AIM: squirtinweasel
This is a song off the Alkaline Trio / Hot Water Music split due out January 22, 2002
on JadeTree Records. JadeTree records is freely distributing the mp3 for this song @
http://www.jadetree.com. I can't wait to hear the rest of the Trio's new tracks and
Hot Water Music's covers of the Trio's Radio and Bleeder. Well I promised on the
forums to tab this gem out so here it is... and in two guitars format as stated! :)
Oh and the number of chord strumming isn't perfect so figure that out yourself...
On to the tab:

Notes:
Song sounds best played on Fender Fat Strat. Umm... this tab is best read under wordpad... not notepad... so use MS WORDPAD!
I've tabbed other Trio songs including - Private Eye, Armageddon, Take Lots with Alcohol, and Steamer Trunk. Check
them out @ alkalinetrio.com or punkhardcore.com. Request any songs by any band and i'll take a shot at them too... if
i'm in the mood to tab that is ;) Have a nice day.
