Artist: Pantera
Album: Cowboy from Hell
Song: Cowboy from Hell
Tuning: D G C F A D
This song sounds best to me when tuned to D (D,G,C,F,A,D)
Some people seem to get confused with D tuning. This tuning is not Drop D.
Drop D is the same as E tuning except the E string is lowered to D (D,A,D,G,B,C)
Everything here is 100% correct. I borrowed the solo from one of the other tabs.
/ = slide to next fret (12/15) Play 12th fret and slide to the 15th
h = hammer on
* = Palm Mute
Riff 1 with flanger
Repeat a couple times

Riff 8.1 (I think)
Add some harmonics in here to make it sound better.

Repeat Riff 8.1 again but end with this riff.

Then go back to the some of the beginning riffs followed by Riff 8 again.
