"I'm Housin'" by Rage Against the Machine.
tabbed by David Whiteley [buttcrust420@mail.com]
Standard tuning.

very cool song, the rap overtones mixed with heavy rock riffs make this
song unforgetable. As you may have noticed, the verse riff gets a little
goofy. The first time through, you'll want to repeat the second bar the
final three times, in other words [1st Bar: 1,3,5,7] and
[2nd Bar: 2,4,6,8,9,10]. The second time through, just alternate as
expected. I recently realized that not everyone has a bass with 22 or
more frets, so if you're one of those dudes, just play it on the D-string
5 frets down, aka 15/17 14 13 12 9 8\ etc. Oh, and as for the guitar
solo, I'm not 100% about that 4th ending, so if you've got it, please e-me.
