Alabama - 5 O'clock 500 lead guitar tab

Alabama - 5 O'Clock 500 (with lead)

By axehappy - axehappy@

On the lead solos, it sounds as though there are either 2 guitars,

or the guitarist is using a harmonizer pedal.

I couldn't work out which, so I just tabbed the lead part using the

lowest notes.

A = x02220 C = x32010

D = xx0232 G = 320003

D/Db = x40232 D/B = x20232

D/A = x00232
