Chords, Guitar Tablature & Lyrics
____________________________________________________________________________________
I think that there are two electric guitars in this one. I'm going to show you the chords - you can take it from there. Be sure to visit my tab page in order to understand how I write tablature on the web.
By the way, I interpreted these chords from listening to the LP - I did not use any other written music as an aid in writing the tab presented on this page. If you think that I have made a mistake, please let me know about it by dropping me a quick note.
Click here if you want only the lyrics.
