Kid Rock — American Bad Ass
I just wrote this because I have never seen anything even close to this for the Kid Rock Song. You may also see Metallica's Sad But True to get additional tabs, as they are the same song. Tune down 1/2 step for best quality Riff 1 E|--------------------------------------| B|--------------------------------------| G|--------------------------------------| D|--3-3---3-3----4--4---3---------------|Repeat a few times A|--1-1---1-1----2--2---1---7--6--5--3b-| E|--------------------------------------| Riff 2 E|-----------------------------| B|-----------------------------| G|-----------------------------| D|--2--X---2-2-------------2-2-|Repeat a few times A|--2--X---2-2----5--1-----2-2-| E|--0--X---0-0----------3--0-0-| Riff 3 E|-----------------------------| B|-----------------------------| G|-----------------------------| D|-----------------------------| A|--5-0-5-5b-------------------| E|-----------------------------| Order: Riff 1 Several Times Riff 2 Several Times Riff 3 Two Times (on second time put some emphasis on the bent a string at the last)

thats it really, jus play that riff all the way through the song! kidrock has the fast
part with bells in it too! but cant do that!! but this 1 is perfect if u play 2
metallica! i shoulda put it there but i like kidrock more and its the same anyway!
so, let me know what u think! an rate it plzzzzzzz!! thanx!
i will try and work out the lead that plays on the last chorus! but im more of a rhythm
guitarist!!
