Asshole Father

Artist: Sick Puppies

Song: Asshole Father

Tuning: Standard



This song is recorded in Drop D, but these are the chords for open tuning.  Be 

sure to play around with the voicing of the chords. Listening to the recording 

carefully helps you distinguish where to play a low A# versus a higher one.  I 

included the tab for the verses in case you prefer Drop D, the chord map would be 

different however.
