------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Violet by Hole ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Classic opening track from 'Live Through This' (1994). This tab is based off of the album version, and I've tabbed/notated both Eric and Courtney's guitar pieces here and when and where to play them. There are some layers going on in the song, so I did my best to replicate that with the lead and rhythm pieces. Tabbed by: Scott H.
