Alan Jackson - It's Five O'clock Somewhere lead guitar tab

Its Five O’Clock Somewhere Alan Jackson and Jimmy Buffet

Key: D Drop-D tuning

O.K. folks. I was surprised to find no full tab of the lead to this beauty on

this site, so I gave it a go. Feel free to offer corrections. If I find some

time, I’ll try to post the rest of the guitar parts for the talking part at the

end of the song.
