"Bloodhounds On My Trail" by The Black Angels
From the album "Passover" (2006)
Written by Alex Maas
Tabbed by CJWilky on Ultimate Guitar
This is for chords in normal tuning, with capo on 3 which I think sounds better than the open chords.
The slide guitar on the track is open tuned to G, see the other tabs here for that and the intro.
The riff is basically an octave shift with 3 beats on the lower octave, 1 on the higher. This is repeated
through the song. By focusing the first 3 beats on the E A D strings and the last beat on the G B E the effect
is not dissimilar sounding from the track. Hope that helps for some fun!
Standard tuning, capo 3
[Intro]
E
[Verse 1]
E
Standing on the front porch, looking left and looking right
E
The bloodhounds out to get me, I already feel the bite
E
The rules of the road state to hate those who hate
E A
Sleeping in wet coffins, frozen warnings melt away, oh-oh-oohh
[Chorus 1]
E
But you say no to me, just quit saying no to me
E A E
Just stop saying no to me 500 times a day, see, oh, oh-oh-ohhh
[Break]
E
E
One, two, and three
E
[Verse 2]
E
The billboards on the highway are the prophets of today
E
The roadkill speaks in poems through ads and through campaigns
E
The warden has his rifle, the sniper's like an owl
E A
I'm hiding in the tall grass with God and Vernon Howell
[Chorus 2]
E
But you say no to me, yes, you say no to me
E A E
Just quit saying no to me 500 times a day, see, oh, whoooaa
[Outro]
E
