One Way Mule – By SILVERCHAIR
Tabbed by IVANDUKE – This is the REAL One way mule Tab, to all Silverchair´s fans. Enjoy.

This song uses a Drop-B tuning, but I prefer to play it in Drop-C.
It’s easier to tune the guitar and the power chords sounds better.

Drop-C Tuning: C, G, C, F, A, D 

It works like a Drop-D tuning, but gives you extra-power chords.

/= Slide
H= Hammer on
Bu= Bend up
Bd= Bend down
P= Pull off

Tab Discussion, Comments, and Critiques


No Picture dylan Average	#1 by dylan pesino at Oct 11, 1985 at 4:16 AM EST
	in the corus he sings ---time to kill, i'm coming back to you--- do you thinks hes goin to kill 'you' or will he kill the time?

No Picture Chris Average	#2 by Chris Tucker at Dec 19, 1986 at 11:00 AM EST
	I think what he means when he says " When i've got time to kill i'm comming back for you" is that when a heart is broken its just like killing someone. Sort of like he's going to get the best of them this time type deal. At least that's what I tihnk.

No Picture Gabba Gabba Hey Average	#6 by Gabba Gabba Hey at Jun 10, 2001 at 4:27 AM EST
	This lyric may have been from natalies point of view, to me hes saying that natalie came to daniel when she needed him when she had time for him, this lyric is anger she wasnt there when daniel needed her just when she needed daniel. So when it suited natalie when she could fit him in she arrived!

No Picture cody Rhythm Player	#7 by cody watts at May 24, 2007 at 3:02 PM EST
	"when ive got time to kill im coming back to you" is one of my favrite ever lyrics. and yes, im just as confused as anyone about what it means. but thats why its so clever. one of only two "heavy" songs on diorama, and one of the best on the album. probly second behind "tuna in the brine" - that is awesome. i heard from a friend that one way mule was apparently about lesbians/cross-dressers. or this may have been a joke. actualy it was probly a joke. in fact im certain it was a joke. im gona go now. "yes, im a big dork, and i listen to emo" -Seth from "the OC"
