Styx - Renegade guitar tab
Band: Styx
Song: Renegade
-This is the first tab I’ve ever done.
-Im doing it because there is literally NONE for this song that I can find ANYWHERE.
-I will have the solo soon, but it is in G if you want to play around and figure some out.
-I did this in Microsoft Word, Courier New Font, size 8. Copy and paste it in there so when you print it doesn’t screw it up. Should stay the same (not splitting tab lines in half and stuff)
Key:
> - Tied Note / - slide to ~~ - Ring out
^ - Bend up full unless otherwise noted \/ - Whammy bar dive
The rest should be fairly obvious
Intro (only vocals)
Oh Mamma, I'm in fear for my life from the long arm of the law
Law man has put an end to my running and I'm so far from my home
Oh Mamma, I can hear you a crying you're so scared and all alone
Hangman is coming down from the gallows and I don't have very long
There is no guitar underneath this but if you feel like you need to play something, the vocals are the verse riff, played only on the D string (all single notes). It’s the same.
Chorus: 2 Times

Chorus vocals:
The jig is up, the news is out
They finally found me
The renegade who had it made
Retrieved for a bounty
Never more to go astray
The judge'll have revenge today
On the wanted man

Verse 1 Lyrics
Oh Mama, I've been years on the lam and had a high price on my head
Lawman said 'Get him dead or alive' and it's for sure he'll see me dead
Dear Mama I can hear you cryin', you're so scared and all alone
Hangman is comin' down from the gallows and I don't have very long
Chorus Again (at the top of page)
Next Verse, same as the first.
Right as soon as the verse part ends the solo starts. At first it is unaccompanied but there is a keyboard under the rest of it; tabbed here:

Lyrics (only drum underneath him right after solo)
Oh Mama, I'm in fear for my life from the long arm of the law
Law man has put an end to my running and I'm so far from my home
Chorus
There is the solo backing more until fade out with more soloing. Ill post the solo when I have it all.
