NEW TO TABLATURE?
Tablature is a convenient way to write music. In guitar tablature (or "tab"), the strings are represented by a six horizontal lines...
e::|---5---
In this case, the capital "E" represents the thick E-string, and the small "e" represents the thin e-string. The numbers tell you which fret you should place your finger at and the tab is read from left to right. To play the above tab, you would put your finger across the fifth fret of the guitar and pick the strings from high to low. Tablature does not tell you which finger to use, or the timing of a song.
It is best to listen to the original track while you learn.
For more advanced playing, we use a variety of symbols to represent different techniques. You can learn more about the symbols at the following page:

Some of the tabs in this eBook are long, and you might like to print them out. To do this, highlight the text you want and click "Print". On the print menu, click "Print Selection".

Sweet Home Alabama
|---|---|--3--3----3--|----3-3-3-3--||
Big wheels keep on turning, carry me home to see my kin
singing songs about the southland.
I miss ole bamy once again and I think it's a sin. Yeah.
Well, I heard Mister Young sing about her.
Well, I heard ole Neil put her down.
Well, I hope Neil Young will remember
a southern man don't need him around anyhow.
Sweet home Alabama where the skies are so blue.
Sweet home Alabama, Lord, I'm coming home to you.
In Birmingham they love the Gov'nor. Oooh hoo hoo.
Now we all did what we could do.
Now Watergate does not bother me.
Does your conscience bother you, tell the truth.
Sweet home Alabama where the skies are so blue.
Sweet home Alabama, Lord, I'm coming home to you.
Now Muscle Shoals has got the Swampers
and they ve been known to pick a song or two.
Lord, they get me off so much,
they pick me up when I'm feeling blue, now how about you.
Sweet home Alabama, Lord, I'm coming home to you.
Sweet home Alabama where the skies are so blue.
Sweet home Alabama, Lord, I'm coming home to you.

D D Reminds me of childhood memories Where everything
Was as fresh as the bright blue sky Now and then when I see her face She takes me away to that
special place
And if I stared too long
I'd probably break down and cry
Sweet child o' mine Sweet love of mine
She's got eyes of the bluest skies As if they thought of rain
I hate to look into those eyes And see an ounce of pain
Her hair reminds me of a warm safe place Where as a child I'd hide And pray for the thunder And the rain
To quietly pass me by
Sweet child o' mine Sweet love of mine
Where do we go Where do we go now Where do we go Sweet child o' mine

Like I don't have a partner Sometimes I feel
Like my only friend Is the city I live in The city of angels Lonely as I am Together we cry
I drive on her streets 'Cause she's my companion I walk through her hills 'Cause she knows who I am She sees my good deeds And she kisses me windy I never worry
I don't ever want to feel Like I did that day
Take me to the place I love Take me all the way
It's hard to believe
That there's nobody out there It's hard to believe
That I'm all alone
At least I have her love The city she loves me Lonely as I am
Together we cry
I don't ever want to feel Like I did that day
Take me to the place I love Take me all that way
Under the bridge downtown Is where I drew some blood Under the bridge downtown I could not get enough Under the bridge downtown Forgot about my love Under the bridge downtown I gave my life away

Another turning point, a fork stuck in the road.
Time grabs you by the wrist, directs you where to go.
So make the best of this test, and don't ask why.
It's not a question, but a lesson learned in time.
It's something unpredictable, but in the end it's right.
I hope you had the time of your life.
So take the photographs, and still frames in your mind.
Hang it on a shelf in good health and good time.
Tattoos of memories and dead skin on trial.
For what it's worth, it was worth all the while.
It's something unpredictable, but in the end it's right.
I hope you had the time of your life.
It's something unpredictable, but in the end it's right.
I hope you had the time of your life.
It's something unpredictable, but in the end it's right.
I hope you had the time of your life.

That's kept me hanging about I've been looking at the sky 'Cause it's gettin' me high
Forget the hearse 'cause I never die
I got nine lives Cat Size
Abusin' every one of them and running wild
CHORUS:
Nobody's gonna get me on another rap So look at me now
Johnny B Goode
FIRST BREAK:
Deep down Louisiana close to New Orleans
Where lived a country boy named Johnny B. Goode Who never ever learned to read or write so well
But he could play the guitar just like a ringing a bell
Go go
He used to carry his guitar in a gunny sack Go sit beneath the tree by the railroad track
Oh, the engineerswould see him sitting in the shade Strumming with the rhythm that the drivers made People passing by they would stop and say
Oh my that little country boy could play
Go go
His mother told him "Someday you will be a man, And you will be the leader of a big old band.
Many people coming from miles around
To hear you play your music when the sun go down Maybe someday your name will be in lights
Saying Johnny B. Goode tonight."
Go go

This is a basic interpretation of the classic song.
It is a difficult track to play - it may take weeks to perfect.
To keep things simple, the solo has been left out.

There's a lady who's sure All that glitters is gold
And she's buying a stairway to heaven.
When she gets there she knows If the stores are all closed
With a word she can get what she came for.
Ooh, ooh, and she's buying a stairway to heaven.
There's a sign on the wall But she wants to be sure
'Cause you know sometimes words have two meanings.
In a tree by the brook
There's a songbird who sings,
Sometimes all of our thoughts are misgiven.
Ooh, it makes me wonder, Ooh, it makes me wonder.
When I look to the west,
And my spirit is crying for leaving.
In my thoughts I have seen
Rings of smoke through the trees,
And the voices of those who standing looking.
Ooh, it makes me wonder,
Ooh, it really makes me wonder.
And it's whispered that soon If we all call the tune
Then the piper will lead us to reason.
And a new day will dawn For those who stand long
And the forests will echo with laughter.
If there's a bustle in your hedgerow Don't be alarmed now,
It's just a spring clean for the May queen.
Yes, there are two paths you can go by But in the long run
There's still time to change the road you're on.
And it makes me wonder.
Your head is humming and it won't go In case you don't know,
The piper's calling you to join him, Dear lady, can you hear the wind blow, And did you know
Your stairway lies on the whispering wind.
And as we wind on down the road Our shadows taller than our soul.
There walks a lady we all know
Who shines white light and wants to show How ev'rything still turns to gold.
And if you listen very hard
The tune will come to you at last.
When all are one and one is all To be a rock and not to roll.
And she's buying a stairway to heaven.

Can't explain all the feelings that you're making me feel My heart's in overdrive and you're behind the steering wheel.
Touching you, touching me
Touching you, 'cause you're such a fool
I believe in a thing called love Just listen to the rhythm of my heart There's a chance we could make it now We'll be rocking 'til the sun goes down I believe in a thing called love
Ooh! Huh!
I wanna kiss you every minute, every hour, every day You got me in a spin but everything is A O.K!
Touching you, touching me
Touching you 'cause you're such a fool
I believe in a thing called love Just listen to the rhythm of my heart There's a chance we could make it now
We'll be rocking 'til the sun goes down I believe in a thing called love
Ooh! Guitar!
Touching you, touching me
Touching you, god you're touching mine
I believe in a thing called love Just listen to the rhythm of my heart There's a chance we could make it now We'll be rocking 'til the sun goes down I believe in a thing called love
Ooh!
