The Killers
When You Were Young
Sam's Town (2006)
/ = slide up
\ = slide down
h = hammer-on
I tried to include everything so sorry if it's long.
I haven't really included any rhythm but you figure most of it out just by listening...
INTRO:
| eb 10 |
| Bb 10 |
| Gb 0 |
| Db 7 |
| Ab 8 |
| Eb |
That is the correct opening chord but if you find that awkward to play then this sounds
just as good I think:
| eb 10 |
| Bb 10 |
| Gb 0 |
| Db 10 |
| Ab 8 |
| Eb |
