This song is mostly just him playing the main riff over and over
again with ad libs, so I will just tab each of those ad libs seperately.
Ad Lib 1:
G:-----7p6-6-------7-7-6-----------------------------------------------------------------
D:-7-9-------7p6-4-------7p6-------------------------------------------------------------
A:---------------------------5h7---------------------------------------------------------
E:-------------------------------0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-
Ad Lib 2:
G:---------9/11-9-7-9-7------------------------------------------------------------------
D:-7-7-7h9--------------9-7-7h9----------------------------------------------------------
A:---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
E:------------------------------0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0------------------------------
Ad Lib 3:
G:-------7-6-------7-7-6-----------------------------------------------------------------
D:-7-6-7-----7-6\4-------7p6-------------------------------------------------------------
A:---------------------------5h7---------------------------------------------------------
E:-------------------------------0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-----------------------------
Fill 2:
G:---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
D:-------------0-2-0-2-4-6-4-6-7---------------------------------------------------------
A:-------0-2-4---------------------------------------------------------------------------
E:-0-2-4---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
For the part where he talks just keep playing open E string until
the near end, that's when you go back to the main riff.
Every ad lib I didn't tab is just a very slight variation of an
ad lib I already tabbed. Once you know all the ad libs I tabbed,
I it is very easy to get the ones I didnt tab, because they are basically
the same thing.
Outro:
G:-9-7-------7-6-------------------------------------------------------------------------
D:-----9-7-6-----7-6---------------------------------------------------------------------
A:-------------------9-7-----------------------------------------------------------------
E:-----------------------0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-----------------------------------
G:-9-7-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
D:-----9-7-6-7-6---6---------------------------------------------------------------------
A:---------------9---9-7-----------------------------------------------------------------
E:-----------------------0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-----------------------------------
Repeat this last line twice, then do this:
G------------------------------------------------------------------9-7-------------------
D:---------------------------------------------------------------------9-7-6-7-6---6-----
A:-------------------------------------------------------------------------------9---9-7-
E:-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-----------------------
Let that last note ring.
If you have any comments or corrections please tell me. I would
love to know if this helped. Thanks and enjoy!
