Toby Keith - I Love This Bar (complete, Guitar, Steel, Organ) lead guitar tab
I Love This Bar Toby Keith
Great job by jmuelss on the lead tab. This one is a little different, played out of a
lower position. It might be a little more accurate and hopefully easier to play.
All lead is tabbed so that it can be played on lead guitar, in drop-D tuning. I
have labeled each with its original instrument. Of course these will not be the
same as the original instruments, note for note. Thanks to palaminO for the chords
and lyrics.

Verse III: dobro and steel- maybe later!
I've seen short skirts, we've got high-techs, blue collar boys and rednecks,
And we got lovers, lots of lookers, I've even seen dancin’ girls and hookers,
And we like to drink our beer from a mason jar,
Hmm, hmm, hmm, hmm, hmm, I love this bar,
