Jaws of Life Tabs & Lyrics by John Petrucci
Jaws of Life
guitar tabs lyrics
This whole tab should not be taken literally, it is right in its own sense and it is how
played (starring at tim's hand the whole time at a show when youre 3 feet away usually
it) but you need listen for timing of these chords and harmonics. this is in its own sense a guide.
tune your low e to b and your a to g. if you dont understand this, learn.
these are all harmonics, listen for strumming pattern. (barring onto the g and b is optional as well)
