Cowboys From Hell Lyrics

(2 versions)
Here is another great tune by Pantera from their first album, "Cowboys From
Hell". A few notes about the song itself: Darrell uses some wicked
finger stretches in his solo. I advise to seriously warm up your left hand,
especially the pinky. Other than that, just throw your amp on
mega-distortion, give it a little chorus for breathing room, and throw your
pickup switch up to the neck and rock! Have fun and good luck.
