Hang Me Up To Dry

Cold War Kids

Robbers & Cowards (2007)

Chords

# Note: This song is essentially made up of two components: the riff 
# (basically the first four bars of the song) and the solo (basically
# the first two bars of the solo section below.) The enitre song is 
# more or less a composition of these six bars, played repeatedly with
# minor variations. So, don't be discouraged by the length of this tab. 
# The song is simpler than it looks. :D

That may have just been a typo, bit the riff is supposed to be played on the G string then the E strong. If you meant that you prefer playing it on the E and C strings rather than the G and E strings, I can definitely see where you are coming from. The actual riff is pl

Eh, its OK at best. Does not sound much like the original song. It sounds a little better if the riff is played on the E string then the C string instead of the G string and then the C string. Maybe that's just me though.

Nice tab. It sounds good played over a funky G-Em progression too.
