Anybody have the tab for this?

Don't have the tabs for it, but.... excellent song. :cool:

Dude, I love that song! I saw Kim Mitchell open up for Rush on one of their tours back in the 80's, and have always dug his music. Just great, pure rock-n-roll.

Alright, I have never done a tab before, as I so much prefer standard notation, but I had to drag this tune out for a listen just now and play along with it and try my hand at this tab thing (it is easier for quick Internet use, that's for sure). OK, I *still* love this tune! Here's what I came up with:


Tune down 1/2-step (Eb)

Verse

|---- ---- ---- ----|---- ---- ---- ----|
|---- ---- ---- ----|---- ---- ---- ----|
|---- ---- ---- ----|---- ---- ---- ----|
|2222 2222 2222 2222|0000 0000 0000 0000|

etc. (there's a fill before the chorus)


Chorus

|---- ---- ---- ----|---- ---- ---- --<-|
|---- ---- ---- ---2|_21- ---- ---- --4-|
|---- 1234 _444 412-|---2 _222 2222 22-1|
|2222 ---- ---- ----|---- ---- ---- ----|


Bridge

|4444 4444 4411 2233|44-4 -424 ___\ ---7|9\
|---- ---- ---- ----|---- ---- ---- ----|----


The tune ends on C, a cool ending. I'm sure my tab is weird, but hopefully that gets you going. (I was also lazy and just played along in standard tuning rather than detune, so I hope I "added one" to all the frets right and didn't get crossed up!)

HA! I knew I would screw it up... :) I wrote it as 16ths instead of 8ths! I had to laugh as soon as I saw it posted for real and realized that.

OK, let's try it again -- thanks for bearing with this tab rookie here… :)

Whew... this tab stuff sure is sure a lot harder than just writing it out! :) I'm not sure how you're supposed to notate ties, slides, grace notes, etc., but your ears will fill in the blanks for you, I'm sure.

Thank's for the tab. I guess I should have said that standard notation would have been fine! I will actually play it in drop D, so I have to convert anyway.

You saw Kim Mitchell open for Rush :eek: I am very jealous. Two of my favorite bands.

It's not that hard. Use your ears. TAB is a crutch.

Great tune, by the way.
