Pantera : "Cowboys from hell" Guitar tabs

|
Send "Cowboys from hell" Ringtone to your Cell 
[2 versions]
Here is another great tune by Pantera from their first album, "Cowboys From
Hell". A few notes about the song itself: Darrell uses some wicked
finger stretches in his solo. I advise to seriously warm up your left hand,
especially the pinky. Other than that, just throw your amp on
mega-distortion, give it a little chorus for breathing room, and throw your
pickup switch up to the neck and rock! Have fun and good luck.

Now for the Chorus (here we come, reach for your gun...), play Riff C three
times and finish with Riff C.2 on the fourth, then finish the process by
doing the same thing again.
When going back to the 2nd verse, play Riff D/Riff D.2 once, then play Riff E
and go back to the verses.
If you are going into the SOLO after the verses at this point instead, then
play Riff H before solo.
