Sword In Mouth Fire Eyes

Norma Jean

Tuning: Drop B (new for Norma Jean!) To start this song, it might seem strange, but I think the intro might be a ridiculously down-tuned guitar. The open note is actually an F# which is a whole step higher than the natural low E for the bass. So, to play this either downtune your bottom string all the way to F# for a bit, or capo a bass at the second fret. Even though the strings of the guitar are crazy loose at an F#, this actually makes it sound like the recording because it is kind of messy and pitchy. Here goes...
