Byrds - Tulsa County guitar tab

Tulsa County P.Polland

>From the Byrds-Ballad of Easy Rider LP

Clarence White did some great stringbender licks on this tune. The

actual recording is in E but I wrote it in D because that's the key I

can sing it in. I'll Tab out the lead when I get a chance...for now I

just tabbed out the intro. The leads and fills do somewhat follow the

intro somewhat but contain a little more action on the 5th position D

sus/D/D6 and seventh position G7/G moves.

Intro:

All 2nd string bends done with Stringbender

8b10 means hit 8, pull to 10 with bender....(5) means fret at 5 with

bender already engaged..

(0)r0 meaning engage bender..hit 2nd string open,,,then release the

bender as the note chimes

My Nights have been lonely since I Been in Tulsa County

G A7 D

I really don't know what I'm going to do

D A G A

I just might take a trip somewhere along the southern border

G A7 D

But I know I gotta get away from you

CHORUS

G D

I don't know

G D

Just where I'll go

A G G/F# A

But I think I'll ride it down to Mexico

Got your note in Charleston, said you needed my assistance

When I got there, you didn't need me then

I may not be a wise man but I know this life you're leading

You learned your tricks from lots of other men
