Tuning: Standard (EADGBE)
This song is really easy because is so repetitive all you are doing for the whole song
is basically a blues shuffle pattern riff the whole time. The song starts on the band
jamming on the shuffle pattern blues in E until they start to play the song when the
main riff comes in.

The only other change in the song is when Burton sings the line "Truckin Off Across
The Sky" which goes
|---------|
|---------|
|2-2-2-2-4|
|2-2-2-2-4|
|0-0-0-0-2|
|---------|
Play the A chord four times over the line until Burton says the word "Across" then
play the B chord, then play the main riff when he says "The Sky". During the last 4
lines (6:10) of the song play a E chord slowly building lowder when you hit the last
line then hold it.
Finish the song on a E chord
