Shake Me Down Tabs

(ver. 2)
Cage The Elephant
This is my first tab on here so... this is how I play the intro for the song, the 
other tab on here pretty much has the chords down right so...yeah

e|-------------|
B|----5----5---| <--you can play this part on any other position, using this
G|---6-6--6-6--|    pattern
D|--7----6-----| 
A|-------------| <--Play this as much as necessary and then hit that 
E|-------------|    A power chord a couple of times



then this

e|----5----4|
B|---5-5--5-|
G|--6----6--|     after this comes the that open E strum as much as 
D|----------|     necessary
A|----------|
E|----------|


then play the beginning part once and let the G string on the 6th fret ring

e|---------------|
B|----5----5-----|
G|---6-6--6-6----|
D|--7----6-------| then this again  
A|---------------| 
E|---------------| 


then play 

e|--------------------------|
B|--------------------------|
G|--------66666-------44444-|
D|--77777-66666-44444-44444-| <-- 3x
